Gingrich, 67, told The Associated Press that he would focus on helping Republican candidates through the midterm elections in November, then decide in February or March whether to seek the GOP nomination.

"I've never been this serious," Gingrich said.

"It's fair to say that by February the groundwork will have been laid to consider seriously whether or not to run," he said. Gingrich, in Des Moines for a fundraiser and workshop for local Republican candidates, predicted President Barack Obama would be a one-term president. Obama's poll numbers have dropped below 50 percent, and Gingrich predicted they would continue to fall, making him vulnerable in 2012.

Let him run. He won't even win the nomination. I wouldn't worry about it. And I agree with you, btw.

I hope Newt runs. He is just what this country needs. He helped to lead Congress to enact policies that balanced the budget during the Clinton years and he has proven that he can lead.

Personally, I think the Republicans could run a dog in a clown suit and win the 2012 Presidential election.

Newt might win if he runs against the Geico Gecko, but probably only after a recount. Difficult to see; always in motion is the future. I'm certain neither candidate would save us much on car insurance.

I'd gladly cast my vote for Newt. As much as Clinton tries to pat himself on the back over the balanced budget that has since gone to hell, it was Gingrich who made it happen. Clinton's faux "Debt Reduction Act" (which did exactly the opposite) was fought against by Gingrich, who then turned around and proposed the actual balanced budget law in the COntract with America. We can do far worse than Newt... oh wait, we already are.

For Newt to get elected he would need the women's vote.
Even my Republican, Baptist, right wing, Fox loving, conservative, Texan mother hates Newt's guts for what he did to his first wife. He can never live this down. Women have long memories when it comes to cheating husbands.

Republicans the Party of "Family Values"
