Newt in 2012?
In serious conversations among Republicans since their election debacle Tuesday, what name is mentioned most often as the Moses, or Reagan, who could lead them out of the wilderness before 40 years?
To the consternation of many Republicans, it is none other than Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House.
Gingrich is far from a unanimous or even a consensus choice to run for president in 2012, but there is a strong feeling in Republican ranks that he is the only leader of their ...
Which Way Should The GOP Turn Now?
DownWithTyranny! —
... So by all means, let the neo-Nazis take over their party and make it more extreme. Let them run Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber in 2012 and nominate more like Darren White, Chris Myers, Jay Love, and Kirk Schuring. And, by all means, more like Robert Schaffer, James Gillmore and Steven Pearce. The more extreme the better. Is there any chance of bringing back Newt Gingrich to run for president? Maybe with ...

... Voters said no to incompetence and divisiveness and elbowed their way past the blight of racism that has been such a barrier to progress for so long. Barack Obama won the state of North Carolina, for crying out loud. The nation deserves to take a bow. This is not the same place it used to be. Colbert King: Obama has a lot of people to thank, from Fox News to Katie Couric. But the fact is, the other side did it to themselves. Robert Novak: Newt. It would be a rocky road for Gingrich to the ...
Republicans Look to Gingrich
Taegan Goddard's Political Wire —
Newt Gingrich "is far from a unanimous or even a consensus choice to run for

New Leadership for the Past
Matthew Yglesias —
... I’ve heard some rumbling in progressive circles that Newt Gingrich was seriously attempting a comeback as a presidential candidate. I didn’t really believe it.

More On Sarah Palin's Drag On The Ticket
Daily Kos —
Quoth The Prince of Darkness: It would be a rocky road for Gingrich to the nomination, much less the presidency, but there are no other serious candidates inside the party at the moment. But what about Sarah Palin, the person we are constantly told is so popular with Republicans? Democracy Corps and Campaign For America's Future polled the voters and got some pretty darned interesting answers, you betcha. US voters want the Republican Party, which took a beating in this week's general elections, to embrace ...

... adding: "There is no organized Republican opposition anymore."
Meanwhile, Ann Coulter blames it on McCain for being too liberal, a Red State front-pager proclaims "goodbye cruel world", Tucker Carlson recommends that their next candidate speak fluent English and Michelle Malkin simply recommends some good old fashioned loin girding.
They are going to need it.
As for the future of their party, could Novak really be right on this one? ...
Gingrich/Palin In 2012?
Riehl World View —
... Bonus points for watching every head explode on the Left! And the real irony is that you could probably structure the ticket either way. With a couple more years of seasoning, Palin/Gingrich could prove to be an interesting combination, though ego might get in the way in either case. Who really knows? ...
Politico: McCain staffers starting to rally to Palin’s defense
Hot Air » Top Picks —
... out of Iran’s hands, no one will beat him in 2012. If, god help us, the economy’s still in the toilet and foreign policy is a shambles, we’ll run on that. Either way, social conservatism won’t matter much except to the extent that it usually does, as a basic litmus test to make sure the base turns out. In which case, what’s the argument for Palin, who’s young enough to wait and run in 2016, 2020, or even, conceivably, in 2032, when she’d still be younger than Maverick was this year? Newt , on the other hand…
