I have to confess, I rather like the notion of McCain/Gingrich, but I don’t see it happenning. But Gingrich in 2012? Interesting…. TechCrunch interviews Newt Gingrich:
“The other twitter question is, When are you going to run for president? Please run for president.” Gingrich responds that he’s looking at a 2012 or 2016 run: “All I can say is that if they look at American Solutions and they look for the senate transformation, they will see the early stages of how you would write a second contract with America. If you get to the point it is clear enough and powerful enough, and if that point there is a big enough demand whether it is in 2012 or 2016, I will get to the point where I would run. If my mission in life is to be the teacher for the next generation of politicians, then I am pretty happy doing that too. I am going to wait and let the American people sort that out.”

I love Gingrich. But the man became politically radioactive in the 90s, and I don’t see him ever being nationally viable. Plus, he looks like a cross between an imp and a cherub.
would at least drive the “chimp” meme out. wait…. ch(erub)-imp?
oh, my. DOOOOOOOM!
