Gingrich Considers Himself GOP Prospect for 2012 Presidential Election
CARY, N.C. -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday he considers himself among the top Republican prospects for the 2012 presidential election, adding that he believes there will be plenty of GOP options for voters to consider.
"I think I'm probably on a list of seven or eight possible candidates at this stage," Gingrich said. "We have a lot of people around the country who would like to have somebody who represents a commitment to replace the current failed programs and to develop a set of solutions that are practical and workable."
Gingrich listed several current and former goverors who he thinks might enter the race. They include former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. He said he will discuss his possible candidacy with his wife early next year before making a decision about whether to run.
Gingrich also suggested that governors Mitch Daniels from Indiana, Haley Barbour from Mississippi, Rick Perry from Texas and Bobby Jindal from Louisiana, as well as South Dakota Sen. John Thune could run.
The former lawmaker from Georgia talked to reporters before speaking to hundreds of conservatives in North Carolina, a state that went to the Democrats in 2008 for the first time in three decades. Gingrich said the political environment is favoring Republicans and that the party could regain a lot of power in this year's mid-term election.
A key conductor of the GOP's takeover of the U.S. House in 1994, Gingrich encouraged his party to revisit the "Contract for America" brainstorm that helped swing the election that year.

Hell no. Thune 2012 so far for me.,

eh, mccain was an open cheater who didn't even deny it.
palin preached abstinence and morals, while allowing her daughter to have a live-in-baby-daddy and herself admitting she considered abortion as an option...
So newt could be a legit threat for 2012. however I don't think he has the look to be president - veep at best. Unfortunately, looks matter. Palin got the nod over a MUCH more qualified woman in hutchison... newt looks like a weird old dude.

That's why I think he's a viable candidate. All the skeletons are actually out of the closet now. People are familiar with him, he's smart. My only problem is that he may just be too conservative for my tastes.

I've yet to hear Thune indicate he's even interested and we're getting to that 2 year mark where the campaigning is going to begin.
LOL, we sure didn't get much of a break it seems...
Anyway, I need to hear more from Thune. I've been checking out the stuff you posted and he is certainly interesting.

IMO, he's got the douchebag extraordinaire and all around hypocrite image going on. Without a doubt he'll be one of those presidents that gets all righteous on the people. That's the way he talks anyway. So that's my impression of him. I'm sure he'll crack down on porn, medical marijuana and everything else under the sun not in line with.... oh hell, he'll be like having Pat Robertson as President without the foot in mouth.
