He took himself out when he spouted that global warming BS. But this seals the deal.
Which follows his 2008 endorsement of Hillary Clinton.
Face it. Newt is way past his effective date.
Gingrich endorses a leftist, he is over the shark
Markos Moulitsas, founder of The Daily Kos has endorsed Scozzafava. Dede Scozzafava has also been endorsed by NYSUT, the largest labor union in New York, and an affiliate of the National Education Association.
Scozzafava also holds these positions:
Scozzafava has also run in past elections on the Working Families Party (a progressive party associated with ACORN) line on the ballot.
This lady isn’t a RINO, she is a big “R” democRat.
There are also 17 RINOs in the house who have donated funds to this Liberal democRat's campaign. They include Boehner and Cantor. I don’t have a full list, but I will be looking for it. These RINOs should be targeted for elimination in the primaries next year.

I dont buy this... something stinks.
Good. I enjoy watching him on Fox News. His analysis is often inciteful and brilliant. Then when he teams up with the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Al Sharpton I just want to vomit. There must be something in the fetid air in the swamp called Washington which causes this weird behavior.
Any bets that Hannity won’t call him on it?
F.O.N.G.
Mr. Gingrich, the former House speaker, has been working alongside the former first lady on a number of issues, and even appeared with her at a press conference on Wednesday to promote - of all things - health-care legislation.
But more puzzling than that, Mr. Gingrich has been talking up Mrs. Clinton's presidential prospects in 2008, to the chagrin of conservative loyalists who once regarded him as a heroic figure. Last month, he even suggested she might capture the presidency, saying “any Republican who thinks she's going to be easy to beat has a total amnesia about the history of the Clintons.”
Truer words were never spoken. I lost all respect for Newt when he sat down on the couch with Pelosi on the global warming BS. Good riddance Newt.
Newt took himself out of the running when he quit as Speaker and then quit as GA Rep and then dumped his wife to marry a Congressional Staffer. All this in the middle of the Clinton blue dress scandal while losing R seats in an election where the Rs should have gained seats.
Newt is so over.
Simply another corrupt Republican politician...we’re better off without him.
..he has chosen—wisely
Newt has been sipping Potomac poison for some time now, and once it starts twisting the brain, there is no going back. It’s the drink deludes the brain into thinking government is god, the answer to everything, and it is the brew swirling around in the heads of the Republican establishment that Newt belongs to. Too bad to, 2010 and 2012 are going to be great years for conservatism, and Newt could have been a welcome contributer. We will need the Republican establishment, but pushed into the background, where the damage can be minimized.
Newt would enodrse Mao Tse Tung if he ahd an R after his name. And some people here would follow him. Can’t have those Democrats, after all.
I do not believe Scozzafava’s promise that she’ll vote for Boehner for Speaker either.
Like we cared.
1. there are a surprising number of conservatives who do not keep up with events, and they tend to think in terms of a Newt that hasn't existed in a decade (and may never have actually existed at all).
2. the GOP hierarchy has made sure that the Republican party - and thereby a big chunk of the conservative vote - is kept so bereft of inspiring figures that Newt continually seems almost viable.
3. the media know how to play the game, and Newt is a reliable member of the team.
Newt is still occasionally correct, but so is my cat; neither are qualified to be President.
Gingrich wouldn’t get as many Electoral Votes as Dole got.
The left and MSM would be thrilled for him to be the GOP nominee. It would guarantee Obama (or his replacement, if he really screws up) a win.
