Newt Gingrich has publicly announced he’ll try for a bid at the presidency in 2008.
Having spent a few years out of the spotlight may have removed some of his celebrity status but it has also protected him from being involved in the santioning of torture, the whole Iraq war, and the controversial restructuring of Social Security.
Newt is a strong supporter of small government and would return the Republican party to discussions about reducing federeal involvement (discussions which have not been active for years). For this reason many Republicans would support him well. As he is against both abortion and gay marriage he can platform on the basis of family values and would see some support there. However, his chances of winning on the family values ticket would be slim as he admitted to an affair with a congressional aid and had divorced two wives while they were terribly ill.
