Gingrich thinking about presidential run in 2008
Now this is funny! This is the man who had an affair while his wife was dying! Moral values, my ass!

"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."

We're still suffering the effects of the other contract you had on the American people.

3. The Republicans can run anyone and win
as long as they continue to control the voting process.

4. Mr. Newt "Bill of Goods", Gingrich will need four years to get his
Presidential bid off of the ground with the track record he has. As far as the "The Contract with America", goes, Mr. Bill Clinton did sign those Bills into law. Also I might add that Mr. Newt "Bill of Goods", Gingrich also relaxed the F.C.C. regulations so that we have the mess that we have today also which Mr. Bill Clinton also signed signed into law. If Mr. Newt "Bill of Goods" Gingrich, is not going to have a chance in hell of not winning in 2008 or just as bad, Mr. Jeb Bush do not count on the Democrats to win it for themselves.

5. LOL!
We never did get a chance to finish him off with his own bad press. I hope he brings it on.

7. Plugging his book
is all he is doing now. Doubtful if we would make it through the primaries. Rove gets to handpick the next one.
