Newt Gingrich's 2012 Presidential Campaign Rolls Along—Now It's Card-Check
By Robert Schlesinger, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
Another sign that Newt Gingrich is prepping for a 2012 presidential run: He's cut a radio ad on the so-called card-check bill.
Newt is methodically hitting the various notes needed to stay in good graces with his party's right wing.
Let's see...appeal to the religious conservative base of the party by decrying judicial activism on gay marriages and saying there's a "war on churches" in this country? Check.
More broadly stroke the conservative base by making noises about starting a new, ideologically pure party? Check.
Acknowledge that you're pondering a presidential run (but insist that you'd only do it if dragged kicking and screaming by either adoring supporters or the dictates of circumstance)? Check.
Has he started visiting Iowa yet?

MY thoughts HUMMMMM
My thoughts are this. I think that you have a bunch of idiots that have responded to this article and they are a bunch of cool aid drinking Obama Suck ups. What has this guy done that is so awsome for this country in his entire public service life?
As far as the conservative judges and the whole Employee free choice comment this Puke must be a union guy who couldnt hold a Job in the real world and is probably getting ready to out of work from GM cause he makes to damn much money and doesnt do near enough work but is protected by the _______ Unions in this country.
It's 2004 Redux
Gay marriage. War on churches. Can the war on Christmas be far behind? I suppose if we've solved the economic crisis, Iraq, Afghanastan, Iran, global warming, energy independence and Linday Lohan's sexual identity crisis, we may get back to worrying about Newt's pet issues and he'll have a chance. Then again, if these issues are "solved," Obama's approval rating, already high, will approach 100%! So good luck, Newt.
