Gingrich is still out there fighting for the Republican presidential nomination, invoking the Bible and Abraham Lincoln as he pushes the idea that America badly needs "a visionary conservative."

LOL! So what color drapes do you have in mind for “President Santorum’s” Oval Office?
Something in Grey to match his Sweater Vest?
