Gingrich predictions...
I find this comical; am I nuts? :crazy:

Newt Gingrich forecasts Obama loss


Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich gives President Barack Obama only a 20 percent chance of being reelected — and says he might be the one to give Obama the boot.

Gingrich, who this week published a book called “To Save America: Stopping Obama’s Secular-Socialist Machine,” said he thinks Obama has “about one chance in five of getting reelected.” and called him “the closest thing to Jimmy Carter I’ve seen.”

“Because he’s so radical, you’re now going to have, I think, the most consequential campaign since 1932,” when Franklin D. Roosevelt clobbered President Herbert Hoover, Gingrich said.

Giving predictions for November’s midterms, Gingrich said House Republicans will pick up “somewhere between 40 and 65 or 70 seats” — enough to gain control of the House. “I believe John Boehner will be speaker in January,” he said.

3. Wonder if Newt remembered to calculate in the loss of campaign
dollars sent to Boner that will have to be set aside for the new tanning tax?

6. Gingrich is just rallying the troops and making a sales pitch for all those
corporate dollars the Republican 5 opened the doors to.

8. Who cares what this guy has to say about anything?
He was a jerk in the 90s and he's an inconsequential one right now. Even within his party his opinion holds little weight.

9. Making these predictions is part of the campaign to make it reality.
Likewise, all the negative predictions by liberals helps accomplish the same thing.

10. I predict....
Edited on Tue May-18-10 04:47 PM by blue_onyx
that Newt will spend the next year or two talking about how he might run in 2012. He'll enjoy the attention for a while but choose not to run. Obama will be re-elected.

11. He's trying to sell his POS book, I'm sure. They're all about money.
