Quote:The former House speaker will make the official announcement via social networks Facebook and Twitter. His first television interview will be later that night on Hannity on FOX. There, he will lay out his rationale for running, according to spokesman Rick Tyler

While the GOP debates on Fox might be painfull to watch, they should be enjoyable. [Image: Jackson_popcorn.gif]

He's a man of ideas and a Republican that I respect. As much as I'd like to see Obama re-elected, I don't have any dread about seeing Newt get into office. He'd bring some common sense, decency, and fresh thinking into Washington.

I think maybe some sources are jumping the gun here. The announcement of an impending announcement could go either way. I never thought he would run but I did expect him to run out the clock on his PAC collecting money, apparently a popular scam from the GOP grifters.

We live in a society where people make announcements that they will be making an announcement.

We're fucking doomed.

I'm excited! I can't wait for him to step outside the talk radio bubble and take the verbal beating that's coming to him. Assuming he does so. These days, Republican candidates can run their entire campaign without taking a single question from a real reporter.

I'll have to re-register as Republican to vote for Newt in the primary.

I want to get the Republican with the highest number of ex-wives to be their candidate to run against Mr. Obama.

For the lulz.

So the Newt will announce on facebook and twitter......how very Palinesque of him. I heard the tv fellas say that he's been out of the loop so long that people won't know who he is or what he stands for. Or will the old school want him for his 1995isms since they can't dig up Reagan?
