Newt Gingrich forecasts Obama loss

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich gives President Barack Obama only a 20 percent chance of being reelected — and says he might be the one to give Obama the boot.

Gingrich, who this week published a book called “To Save America: Stopping Obama’s Secular-Socialist Machine,” said he thinks Obama has “about one chance in five of getting reelected.” and called him “the closest thing to Jimmy Carter I’ve seen.” “Because he’s so radical, you’re now going to have, I think, the most consequential campaign since 1932,” when Franklin D. Roosevelt clobbered President Herbert Hoover, Gingrich said.

Giving predictions for November’s midterms, Gingrich said House Republicans will pick up “somewhere between 40 and 65 or 70 seats” — enough to gain control of the House. “I believe John Boehner will be speaker in January,” he said. Gingrich said he even sees a chance of Republican control of the Senate. “If they can beat Barbara Boxer [in California], I think that [Mitch] McConnell is going to be the Senate majority leader.”

The former speaker said there is “more of a possibility now” that he’ll run for president than when he was considering the idea ahead of the 2008 election. He said he’ll decide in February or March of next year and will base the decision partly on whether there is “a potential to raise the resources to be a serious, major candidate.”

Gingrich, who is a slime of the first magnitude, shows a political acumen he has never heretofore possessed.

The thing about Newt that impresses me the most is how he sends all the hard core far left fanatics around the bend with the mere mention of his name.

He's like Sara Palin that way.

BOO!

Newt's a has been.

Obama is actually not all that radical but the rightwingers have had great success portraying him that way, and I don't expect them to stop. At least give Obama the chance to finish out the majority of his term before claiming that he's a goner. :)

But I don't expect a Republican who was prominent during or prior to the Bush years to have much chance. And an adulterer, trying to cast himself as a moral conservative? Gimme a break.

I would hardly call that an insult.

He's got one helluva nerve comparing himself to FDR. That's like comparing being given higher taxes to being a victim of the Holocaust.

I hope he does this, although he is not a "man of his word."

Newt for President would be fantastic.

Does it also impress you that the scumbag was having an affair and divorced his wife while she was recovering from cancer?

Do you think he has the moral compass to be president?
From his actions his moral compass seem to point alternately to his wallet and his dick.

Clinton owes his Presidency to Newt. If he hadnt been speaker with his Contract on America Clinton would have never had a second term. I say, let him talk!

You have to admit he has a flair for timing. Wait till the wife is in the hospital with Cancer before serving her. Nothing like class

DomYng, I'll agree with ya 100% on that one. If Newt and Rush had had the good sense to take a big cup of STFU, Clinton would have never won a second term.

It will be interesting to watch him deal with his own hypocrisy since he was rabid about the impeachment of President Clinton because of Monica Lewinsky while having an affair with a staffer and he was forced to leave the house due to ethics problems.

People like him always find nifty ways to rationalise their own bad behaviour, mostly by barefaced lying.
