He would make the media hysterical and that would keep his opponents up front in the news; then sheeple would "pull" for the other guy because he is "more mainstream"..........

5. I wish it were true also---Gingrich presents such a...
"fat" target, both figuratively and literally.

I think, though, that he is just trying to get exposure and press copy to peddle his new book. Talking about a possible presidential bid gives him some free attention.

He has WAY to much baggage to ever be a candidate---even the repugs can see that.
