Newt Gingrich announces for president
We knew this was coming, I know he will play well in front of the Neoconfederate and Club for Growth people, but I think it’s a lost cause for him to run in a national election.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich formally entered the 2012 Republican presidential race today, announcing his intentions in a web video.
“I believe we can return America to hope and opportunity,” Gingrich said. “We’ve done it before, we can do it again.”
Gingrich is scheduled to appear on Fox News Channel’s “Sean Hannity Show” this evening, his first public appearance as an official candidate. He is also set to sit down for an extended interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” this Sunday.
