Newt Gingrich is really gonna run for President in 2012.
I thought for sure he'd chicken out again like he did in 1996, 2000 & 2008, but I guess his owners at Fox News got sick of his phony Hamlet act and since they have the glossy photos....
Still, Newt will make a hash of this count on it. He is likely only going thru the motions because Foreign Business Despot Rupert Murdoch has forced him into a race that was increasingly looking like the clown car at Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus.
Gingrich has almost as much noxious baggage as the Late Edward Maximus (God Rest his Soul)...He won't do much business in the north and social conservatives are spoiled for choices this year.
In all poor prospects for the ex-house speaker.
Gingrich does have a small natural constituency in the punditariat which has always overlooked Newt's inborn cowardice while being inexplicably impressed with his sophomoric intellectual credentials. But the deference of the David Broders of this world doesn't constitute a electoral majority.
Despite all that, the GOP debates are about to become even shriller and more hilariously pretentious, I for one cannot wait.
