The reason Newt's former colleagues won't endorse him is because if he is elected, their cushy DC insider 'elite' lifestyle... is over.
He shook up DC before crossing the aisle to work with Clinton for the good of the country and stepped on a lot of ego's in order to do the people's business.
I challenge ANYONE who after taking an unbiased look at Newt's current detailed plan for America's Recovery AND his resume for SUCCESS and getting things done in DC, to instead choose an empty suit with NO plan or a social right wing extremist who has ALREADY divided rather than united the general electorate.
Currently Gingrich is the ONLY GOP inside Obama's head having forced Chairman Bow to engage vis a vis his FAILED American Energy Policy.
Obama WANTS Romney or Santorum. Obama FEARS Newt Gingrich..... Think Sun Tzu The Art of War..... America can't afford another 2008 McCain disaster..... WAKE UP AMERICA.

caww, I read his bio and his childhood was not an easy one. Newt is a self made man and his record as Speaker is historical..did wonders for the conservative movement in this country. Read a comment about a young Rick Santorum going to a game at Three Rivers Stadium with a friend. Santorum popped a cassette in and the friend said, "who is that?" Santorum replied.."that is Newt Gingrich! you have to listen to this man" Surely you have seen the more recent video of Santorum praising Newt? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl5FrefT66A
