Newt Gingrich Won’t Go Away
Although he's been out of office for more than a decade, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich continues to talk politics at anyone who will listen and, every four years or so, considers running for president. Don't think 2012 will be any different: Newt announced that he is considering a run, emboldened by the belief that Barack Obama "will replace Jimmy Carter as the worst president of modern times."
