Gingrich Says There Is a 'Great Possibility' He Will Run for President - ABC

Seems to me that the Republican Circus is already overstaffed with clowns. Obviously, Newt disagrees.

In an interview with Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America," the former Republican speaker of the House said there was a "great possibility" that he would run for president.

He will make that decision sometime in the fall. Sawyer noted that previously Gingrich had only said he was "thinking about" a run for president. "You said you'll make a decision at the end of the September,{is it} more likely, less likely this morning? Sawyer asked Gingrich. "I think right now, it is a great possibility," Gingrich said.

Polls show that the Iraq War is a big undertow for Republicans. Gingrich said as far back as 2003 that Bush had "gone off a cliff" with the Iraq War. Gingrich believes the United States should get out of Iraq as soon as possible.

A Newsweek poll has every Democratic front-runner beating every leading Republican: Clinton edges out former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani by three points. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards beats Arizona Sen. John McCain by 10 points, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by 37. Illinois Sen. Barack Obama prevails over McCain by 13 points.

Republicans also appear to be hitting other potholes on the presidential path. Conservatives are wary of Giuliani's staunch support of abortion rights, while McCain is seen by some as unreliable on other conservative issues, such as immigration.

4. You have to give him points for chutzpah

How many other people who resigned in disgrace would have the nerve to run for president?! Barf.

5. As far as being a low life I see no difference between Newt and

some of the other Republicans running for office. I will give him credit for having some intelligence and he is not overly religious. The bottom line is that he doesn't have a Chinaman's chance of being elected so why worry.

6. Wonderful news!

He can and may well win the GOP nomination. Except for Tancredo or Brownback, I can't pick a better nominee myself for the GOP. I can't wait!

7. He Is My Dark Horse Favorite For Their Nomination, Sir....

Run, Newt, run....

8. Sweet! Even Hillary could beat Newt.

Would you definitely vote for that candidate, definitely vote against that candidate or would it depend on who they run against?

Hillary 30% def vote for 48% def vote against
Newt 20% def vote for, 49% def vote against
