Gingrich headed to NH

Gingrich isn't a potential candidate.

Uh...ok, how do you figure?  There's an absolutely 0% chance he runs?  I don't see that.

He has no shot, and he's been gone from public office far too long. He has better things to do then run a losing campaign at this stage in his life.

Where are you coming up with this?  How do you know what Gingrich feels like doing?

He does better than Palin in the polls, does that mean she isn't a potential candidate?

You can't say someone isn't potentially something.  He may not be a good one, but of course there's a chance he could be a candidate.  In fact there's a great chance according to his own actions.

Gingrich would've run by now. He would have been the nominee in 1996, president in 2000....

Uh, reality check here please....Gingrich had net negative favorability ratings throughout the late 90s of at least 20 points.  Heck, there was a period in 1997 when his net favorability rating was minus 40 points:

You do realize that the House GOP got rid of him in 1998 because he was wildly unpopular, don't you?

Which makes it all the more amazing that he apparently has the entire conservative media behind him.  Fortunately, I would think that would be pointed out during a campaign.
