Gingrich doesn't rule out presidential run

[obnoxiousdrunk]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Newt Gingrich is taking steps toward a potential presidential bid in 2008 with a book criticizing President Bush's policies on Iraq and a tour of early campaign states.

The former House speaker who led Republicans to power a decade ago said he soon will visit Iowa and New Hampshire to promote his book, try to influence public policy and keep his political options alive.

"Anything seems possible," including a White House race, Gingrich told The Associated Press.

The quotable and controversial former Georgia congressman, who now runs a consulting firm in Washington, is promoting, "Winning the Future: A 21st Century Contract with America." He seemed to welcome the thought that a book tour will increase speculation about his political aspirations.

[Shopaholic]

2. This really worries me because to me it's proof of voting fraud

why else would the Toad even think he had a chance if not for the fact that he knows the vote is rigged?

7. Yeah, I thought the same thing...

I thought "This POS hasn't a chance. Who in Hell would vote for him?" Then I saw we are all in Hell...

[KansDem]

4. He just might win...

He's not a veteran, so the opposition can rule out trashing his service record...

5. Well thank gawd he's got the core

otherwise I don't think fundy amurka would vote for a lying, cheating SOB like newt.

[b...]

6. somehow...

...the republicans running a womanizing-government shuttin' down-fox commentatin'-author who wishes the south had won the civil war doesn't seem like the best idea.

unfortunately i thought the same thing about an alcoholic retard from texas.

13. Hi b...!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

8. Run, Newt, run!

I hope he gets the nomination. It's a good way to ensure a President Hillary Clinton.

[whistle]

9. Gingrich needs to be squelched now....

...this pumpkin head, bumbling neo-conservative lackey has been a stain on the American political scene and should be barred from ever seeking public office again or having any political appointments. He sits at the left hand of his mentor and role model Henry Kissinger, who is another sack of crap who should be taken out of the political arena totally and completely.

10. I would love for Newt to run.

It would be a massacre if he got the repub nomination. We would probably win Texas against Newt.
alsa, there is no chance he will get the nomination, much less run.
One can dream that we get an asshole like that on the ticket though.

11. Run Newt! I think he is trying to sell his book though.... nt

12. Here's a Fun Link on Newt's Checkered Past

Serial adulterer Gingrich should run.

Maybe he could ask Felon Oliver North to run with him.

They are both paid Fox consultants and stars.

Sexual harrasser and self-proclaimed "traditionalist" Bill O'Reilly would love this ticket.
