The Gingrich File

As I was reading Internet news one day recently, I came across an item in which Newt Gingrich proclaimed that if he ran in 2012, he would be one of the favorites to win the Republican nomination. In 1995, after the revolution, he may have had a point. In 2010 and beyond, Mr Gingrich doesn't have a prayer. Shortly after the 1994 revolution, Gingrich very quickly fell into the Washington trap of power and privilege and did things that took his effectiveness away. Since Gingrich left the House, he has done numerous things to position himself as the conservative we were all looking for, speeches, books, television appearances... But then once again, he did things that showed he is not a conservative, but a politician trying to "position" himself as an enlightened Republican. Two recent events have solidified that: His position on global warming,








And his support for Dierdre Scozzafava in NY 23,




After she dropped out...




He's done.
