ATLANTA (AP) --- Newt Gingrich, the House speaker who led a national GOP resurgence in the 1990s before facing ethics questions and resigning, is running for president.

Gingrich's announcement, made on social networking websites Monday, came after months of public flirting with a bid. He enters a slow-to-form GOP presidential field that has left some Republicans craving more options as they search for a nominee strong enough to credibly challenge President Barack Obama.

The former Georgia congressman, well-known to most Republicans, brings to the race a years-in-the-making political machine with ties to early nominating states as well as a network of supporters and donors. But his personal baggage --- he's acknowledged marital infidelity and has had two divorces --- could hinder his chances of winning the party's presidential nomination more than a decade after leaving the House.

Still, he spoke confidently of wide support.

I’ll never vote for him during a primary. But should he somehow win the nomination I would not hesitate to vote for him above Urkel. He, while perhaps a fool, is not an outright enemy of the Nation.

No, you must be thinking of the Knights of Ni!!!

And they want a Schrubbery...

That should be good for about 30 minutes of film...

And 15 minutes of fame for Newt...I heard Sean Vanity had an orgasm at the announcement...

[bigbob]

This is my formal announcement that I don’t shiv a git

[Fishtalk]

That picture and silly exercise on his part make me vow tonot vote for him if he was the last candidate on earth.

I wonder if her regrets this.

If not, does he have no clue how many people were offended by it?

[K-oneTexas]

True! Another non-starter for me too.

I’m sure he’d slap Obambi around in any debate, but I have real problems getting behind him . . . and for one thing, who knows what Hitlery has on him in her 1000 stolen FBI files that she’s saved up in case he ran.

He worries me too much, although he is quite impressive with his intellect and grasp of the American spirit. I’m just afraid of what the mainstream media would do to him.
