Gingrich Hints at 2008 White House Run
By JOHN HEILPRIN 12.17.06, 11:18 AM ET

Newt Gingrich suggested on Sunday he might not run for president in 2008
if a rival has all but locked up the Republican nomination by next fall.

The former House speaker from Georgia said it would not be too late for him
to enter the race after next Labor Day, if he believed no candidate had a
clear advantage. He praised Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Sen. John
McCain of Arizona and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani as the
contenders to watch.

"If one of them seals it off by Labor Day, my announcing now wouldn't make
any difference anyway," Gingrich said. "If none of the three, having from now
'til Labor Day, can seal it off, the first real vote is in 2008. And there's plenty
of time in the age of television and e-mail, between Labor Day and 2008."

3. good!

Run, Newt! You adulterous theiving hipocritical crap-bag, Run!

[rep the dems]

4. Then it looks like he'll be running.

I don't think Romney, McCain, or Giuliani will be able to lock it up before labor day. So he'll probably run, but right now I think Romney will be the nominee. And of course, I think he'll lose :7

5. Go Newt!

I just know Americans are just dying to elect a man named after a lizard!

:sarcasm:

6. He has been Hinting for a few YEARS now. Why do they give him press

time and media time??????

7. Who will the Republicans pick?

All three of their so-called major candidates have quite a bit of flaws. There's Mitt and his religion. Rudy and his adultery. McCain and his, uh, being a huge hypocritical asshole.

They like Brownback but he would be a disaster as a candidate. Then again, this is the same country that elected Chimpy so anything is possible.

8. Man-on-Dog should run.

He'd be the perfect candidate. ;-)

But Uncle Newtie wouldn't be bad. :rofl:
