No too sure about Gingrich.  Although he is a savy politician, and would probably do an excellent job, his personal background might be an albatross.  Depends on how bad things are in 2012. 

I’m sure we’d all be a lot better off.

 Obama said he won’t accept a future of job losses for this country, yet he has no solution for the ills of this country. Instead of fixing the fiancial system by partnering with the private sector to buy up the toxic assets, he went on a spending binge for roads to nowhere plus 9000 other earmarks. Instead of accepting the conservatives’ ideas of corporate and capital gains tax rate cuts, he’s talking about increase marginal tax rates and reducing deductions for charitable contributions. He deliberately talked down the economy to scare people into accepting his "stimulus" pork package, and now he’s panicking because the investor class pulled their money out of the economy and the Dow Jones is dropping like a rock with no ends in sight. Trillions of pension and retirement money for millions of baby boomers near retirement just disappeared into thin air the last month alone. The Democrat elected an incompetent demagogue and we are all paying for it. And hold on to your seats, the worst is yet to come.

Wonder what he means by necessary?

No matter who the Republicans run, I predict we’ll have a solid third party candidate on the ticket in 2012.  I don’t think they will be strong enough to overturn a Democratic win, but they will confound the Republican party.  Peggy Rometo?  Care to weigh in?

Newt would be a good candidate…he has no more issues than most Democrats ( they are just blind to their own). 

I hope you are wrong.   Putting a moderate republican on the ticket with experience (at least as a Governor) who believes in our Constitution and a free America will take the win.   Republicans know they have to get it right this time. 

He will not run. And IF he were to seriously consider it, anyone who would contribute to his campaign is nuts. Why not simply tear your dollar bills up and toss them out the window. Newt is very much like Rush Limbaugh. He has his base supporters and fans, but they are a small number in comparison to the total electorate. And because his personality is divisive and his views extreme and counter to middle America, he would NEVER be a true viable choice. Barack Obama vs. Newt Gingrich? Short of Barack Obama skinning, chopping up and eating a baby live on national TV, he could NEVER lose to someone the likes of Gingrich.

I think at this point, anyone could beat obama in 2012…no competition there…that’s for sure!!!  (Donald Duck comes to mind) Just sayin’!

It’s a long time till 2012…alot can happen!  At the rate the economy is going we may be speaking Chinese by then!

He could be my VP.

I don’t think we need to go backwards, Gingrich’s time has come and gone.  I don’t think he is that personable.  He can help the party from the sidelines or behind the scenes, but his day is over.  We need new fresh faces on both sides, that is the main reason that Obama got elected I believe.

If Gingrich runs that will show for sure that the party has not changed one bit and it will be more of the same.  I thought they wanted new faces and ideas hardly that if he intends to run!!!
