Things are shaping up for the 2008 election. Newt Gingrich would make an excellent President. As a former House Leader, he surely has the credentials for the job. Tough choice, if former NY mayor Guiliani also runs, it would be tough to pick between the two for the Republican candidate.

MOBILE, Ala. — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday he might run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 — unless some candidates promote his ideas.

"There are circumstances where I will run," Gingrich told a news conference before a speech at the University of Mobile.

Earlier this year, in an interview with The Associated Press, Gingrich said, "Anything seems possible."

Asked under what circumstances he would enter the race, Gingrich, 62, said he plans to continue traveling the United States talking about the issues.

"My hope is that five or six candidates are going to jump up, steal all of my ideas, and I will be able to relax and go golf," he said.

The former Georgia congressman said if nobody picks up on the ideas and the country thinks they are significant, a campaign is possible. But he added that's "so far down the road and so much less important than my two grandchildren."

That doesn't sound much like he wants to run. It sounds more like he's trying to get somebody to represent his point of view.

Right. However, if none of the Republican candidates do share his views, he will very likely run. Very good possibility.

Looks to be shaping up for a good 2008 election. Any candidate will easily beat Kerry, hands down.

Kerry is unlikely to be the candidate next time around, James. The way Bush is going the Democrats could run a a pair of brine shrimp and win next time out though.

ya know......having survived .....only slightly scathed ......from the last election hostilities............one dreads what nastiness the neocons have in mind. They have given a whole new meaning to the word dirty politics.

Cock fights are one thing..........but geezus...

They won't have Carl Rove this time around though. Even if he evades going to prison, having him on the team will be a political liability. That won't stop the dirty tricks, but it will very likely reduce the effectiveness of the dirty tricks.

Rudy and Newt have too many skeletons in their closets to get elected as President..i'd love to see the Democrats take these bums to task.
