Why is Newt Gingrich in these debates ? he isn't a serious candidate
he isn't giving any specifics of his plans like the other candidates. he just seems to be there to take shots at Obama and other Democrats and to plug his website. even Ron Paul and Herman Cain who don't have much chance are at least offering their plans.

1. I think Newt Gingrich drops acid.
Then he goes to the Republican debates because they help with the psychadelic trip.

2. "2012 Presidential Candidate" looks good on his sales package resume
..you know, the one offering phoney awards to businesses. The awards that business have to buy from Newt. He's made millions off those awards.

a la the E-Trade baby. Plus, it is his job to inform a questioner that it is not a debate.

4. He is the darling once again with the far right
He expects his "cut" so to speak.

5. None of them is a serious candidate.
But one of them's going to win anyway.

6. He's following in Palin's footsteps
He's figured out that in the GOP if you say outrageous shit while campaigning you make money.

7. Hanging around like McCain did
Basically waiting/hoping the same voters move towards him after the other candidates scare away voters. Might have worked had Bachmann done better.

9. If he's not included he'll cry like he did when
he couldn't ride Air Force One.
