Gingrich Making a Presidential Run?
So far the former House Speaker has tried to remain mum about his intentions for 2008, but that didn't stop The Hill's Patrick O’Connor and Bob Cusack from reporting on Newt's imminent ventures into early primary states.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) will be making trips to New Hampshire and Iowa this spring, but not necessarily to launch a presidential campaign.There are very few conservatives the Democrats would rather see getting the GOP nomination in 2008 than Newt Gingrich. Although some in the Washington cognoscenti might believe a moderate like Rudy Giuliani or a maverick like John McCain have a shot at becoming the Republican standard bearer, in all likelihood an uber-conservative will get the nod. Perhaps Newt's chances aren't quite as bad as some might think...
Gingrich, who is promoting his new book, Winning the Future, told reporters yesterday at a breakfast sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor that he will travel to the presidential primary battlegrounds to ensure that his conservative ideals remain relevant in the 2008 presidential campaign.
Asked if he will ever run for elected office again, Gingrich said, “It strikes me as implausible,” adding that he would not rule anything out.
