In the last 24 hours, former U.S. House speaker Newt Gingrich has touched base with several prominent Republicans in his former home state, telling them that he intends to make a run for president in 2012 using Georgia as his base – and that he already has his eye on office space in Buckhead for a campaign headquarters.
Former U.S. House speaker Newt Gingrich
Gingrich met on Thursday with Nathan Deal, whom Gingrich endorsed during a critical phase of last year’s Republican primary for governor.
House Speaker David Ralston introduced Gingrich Thursday night at a downtown Atlanta affair hosted by the Paulding County Chamber of Commerce.
The visits and conversations – some face-to-face, others on the phone — appear to be an attempt by Gingrich to revive his old campaign network and lock down as much support as possible in a state won by Republican Mike Huckabee in the 2008 presidential primary.

What’s a nice girl like you doing trolling over here in Never Never Land...
NEWT has way too much baggage....3 marriages...and was cheatin’ on his second wife while she was in hospital...with his third wife....media will tear him up over that....I can’t stand Newt...lousy SOTH...
We all know that his chances are slim and none. Now we need to discuss his judgement. Since the real chances are slim and none why should he suck the $$$, talent, organization from other Conservative candidates because Newt has figured out the game of running for President?

Dearest Mr. Bende, thank you for your kind words. Just trying to troll for New Monthly Donors, in the effort to help abolish FReep-a-thons. I’m heading back to where I belong.
Newt endorsed Scuzzi the liberal - that says it all.

Palin to speak to NY business group in February
Newt, first in! ... first out? ;^)
No thanks, Newt.
Of course he knows he can say bye bye to the Conservatives, He DOES understand that? Right?
I see every single inside the beltway type as a non starter. And Newt is as inside as it gets.
GO AWAY RINO BOY! Your talk the take and yet puke on th the walk. BYE BYE!
He's not running, no if, ands or buts.....
He plays with the idea every few years as a publicity stunt, but he has no intention of ever running for office, at all.
He's also, not exactly a leftist or a conservative or a moderate, he a publicity seeker, who is indifferent to anything that doesn't affect his bottom line....
Sidenote: His political advisor is Roger Stone........that tells you everything.
Newts 3 marriages and cheating are career enhancers for Dhimmicrats.
Hollywood helps Rahm haul in $10.6M
Snip: But Emanuel’s stunning multi-million haul wasn’t limited to the bright lights of the sunset strip — it also included huge payouts from CEOs and hedge fund managers across from New York to Silicon Valley, Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Donald Trump and former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was having an extramarital affair even as he led the charge against President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair, he acknowledged in an interview with a conservative Christian group.
“The honest answer is yes,” Gingrich, a potential 2008 Republican presidential candidate, said in an interview with Focus on the Family founder James Dobson to be aired Friday, according to a transcript provided to The Associated Press. “There are times that I have fallen short of my own standards. There's certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards.”
Not if you are the Republican Nominee for President...they will chew him up and spit him out...
I don’t see anyone on the list that represents what I’m looking for. Maybe Cain is closest but I don’t know that much about him yet.
I supported Duncan Hunter last time, until he dropped out, then Fred Thompson until he dropped out. And by the time it got to be primary day in my state the only ones left to choose from were Romney, McLame, and Huckabee. It was a serious hold-my-nose night.
It will be fun to watch the Beltway Establishment supporters of Newt throw their money away on his D.O.A. candidacy...
Who is Cain?
Able’s bro....
