Newt Gingrich is one of the greatest con men of our time. From campaigning for Dede Scozzafava in NY 23, to hinting at a Presidential run in 2012, Newt has somehow maintained to keep a following as a “conservative leader” after flip-flopping worse than Mitt Romney ever dared doing.
Why is that people still follow Newt? I have no idea. I just hope they don’t expect “conservative leadership” from this guy if he is ever given power again. I doubt that I have to worry about him winning anything though.
Here is the latest on Gingrich’s 2012 plans:
“Callista and I are going to think about this in February 2011. And we are going to reach out to all of our friends around the country,” he said on C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal” this morning. “We’ll decide, if there’s a requirement as citizens that we run, I suspect we probably will. And if there’s not a requirement, if other people have filled the vacuum, I suspect we won’t.”
Many political observers have tabbed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) as a presidential hopeful in past election cycles. Critics say that the leader of the 1994 Republican Revolution will not run because of his tumultuous personal life; he has been married three times and engaged in an extramarital affair during Bill Clinton’s impeachment.
