he's back
Gingrich to announce 2012 intentions within two weeks




Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he will form an exploratory committee for a potential 2012 bid and could make his intentions known in as little as two weeks, according to reports.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported Saturday that Randy Evans, the lawyer in charge of Gingrich's business interests, said Gingrich would announce the formation of a presidential exploratory committee within "the next 10 days." Evans was Gingrich's lawyer during his divorce proceedings in 1999.

Gingrich also told an audience in Florida on Friday that he was within two weeks of making a decision as to whether he would run for president, according to The Palm Beach Post.

In a statement to the Post, Gingrich's press secretary Rick Tyler wrote, "We have said for weeks now that Newt will decide whether or not to move to an explore phase by late February/early March. We are sticking to that schedule. In response to what has been said: Newt will make up his mind in his time."

12. The best thing about Boehner besides his fail, is the fact that he hated Gingy.

5. Some news items are the definition of ROFL.
Really, they don't get it do they?

Old people don't get elected in the USofA. They just don't. In this case, I don't disagree.

He doesn't have a chance if the Obama camp uses his peccadilloes against him like Jerry Brown did to Meg Whitman.

24. Newt was the vangard for John Edwards.
Does he really think people will get past his morality to even get to his political ideology?

Thanks for playing Newt! George Clooney has it figured out, and he is on of them stooopid Hollywood libruls.
