Unlikely, but he’s making noises yet again.
From C-Span via Politics Daily:
C-SPAN: “If you were to run, what factors would you take into account? What would lead you to think about running?”
GINGRICH: “Callista and I are going to think about this in February 2011. And we are going to reach out to all of our friends [...]

“In LaCrosse, Wisc., the Gundersen Lutheran Hospital system is, according to the Dartmouth [Atlas of Health Care], the least expensive place in America for the last two years of life. They have an advanced directive program, and over 90 percent of their patients have an advanced directive. They have electronic health records, so everybody on [...]

Looks like I’m not the only one.
From Huff Post:
“Of course this disturbs me,” said Lionel Sosa, one of the more influential Hispanic media advisers in the GOP. “I’m not surprised at Rush Limbaugh but I’m very surprised at Speaker Gingrich because he is one of the key people who knows the importance of the Latino [...]

(NOTE: I misread the poll results. The poll is among ALL voters. I’ll strike what isn’t relevant anymore, but most of my comments weren’t about the Republican nature of this poll anyway. Sorry for the confusion and thanks to Simon for pointing this out.)
This was a bit of a surprise, especially considering that only Republican [...]

I think I’ve said this before, but the Republicans definitely run the risk of being fractured between the social and the fiscal conservatives. Because call him whatever you like, but Bush was not a fiscal conservative. And there are A LOT of fiscally conservative folks who really despise the less tolerant aspects of social conservatism.
Now [...]

McCain did it a couple days ago when the RNC released an ad essentially trying to raise questions about the language Obama used during press conferences, and today Gingrich sounds the same alarm.
From Politico:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is denouncing Republican attempts to link President-elect Barack Obama and disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
Senator John McCain [...]

Well, it doesn’t appear that the GOP will be lacking superstars to go up against Obama 4 years for now, and Robert Novak throws a familiar name into the mix…
In serious conversations among Republicans since their election debacle Tuesday, what name is mentioned most often as the Moses, or Reagan, who could lead them out [...]

Wow.
I’m genuinely stunned by the lack of understanding about Bobby Jindal on Newt’s part here.
From The Hill:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said Sunday that Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal “would be far and away the best candidate” to appear on the Republican presidential ticket with Sen. John McCain (Ariz.).
Gingrich, who appeared on CBS’s “Face [...]

It’s pretty short and sweet: be about something.
But between the new health care proposal, heavy investment in green-collar jobs and renewed investment in our infrastructure and national education system, Obama seems like he has plenty of ideas that Americans could get behind. So it feels like Gingrich is trying to position Obama as the guy [...]

Hillary Clinton has asked for it, but this style of debate is apparently being characterized incorrectly.
TPM provides some perspective…
This is not in fact the format used by Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas — which in turn would be anathema to a modern viewing audience. In those famous debates, one candidate would speak for a [...]

The following Q&A is classic and points to exactly what this blog has been saying for the past 3 years:
Okay, back to the past. What happened to your party over the last eight years?
They went off the rails. That’s it. They took a majority that took 16 years to build and they destroyed it.
How?
There [...]

Or…shorter Hannity: Passports? But, but, but I want to show more video of that crazy black preacher!!!
Do note how Newt Gingrich doesn’t take the bait AT ALL. Good for him.
UPDATE:
Well, the video doesn’t seem to want to embed in some browsers, so here’s the link.

Good luck Newt.

Interesting new blog called WalkingThinkTank popped up recently and the author sent me a post about the similarities between the titular three.
Here are some excerpts:
In his latest book, Assault on Reason, former Vice President Gore wrote: “Faith in the power of reason—the belief that free citizens can govern themselves wisely and fairly by resorting to [...]

This is one of those times where Newt makes a hell of a lot of sense. Because what we have now is less a real campaign where we can actually get to know the candidates and their ideas, and more a time where the best soundbites win. And how sad is that?
Gingrich on the money [...]

That’s right. He calls it bogus.
From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Washington — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday the Bush administration is waging a “phony war” on terrorism, warning that the country is losing ground against the kind of Islamic radicals who attacked the country on Sept. 11, 2001.
A more effective approach, said Gingrich, would begin [...]
