IMO, Gingrich is going for it. He's all over the 'news' and talk shows

[wiggs]

lurching hard to the right, talking just like Hannity, Palin, and Angle. His comments have been offensive, illogical, alarmist, and deadly serious. He's clearly trying to talk to the RW base, likely to position himself for primary success or a place on the gop ticket and to let wingers know he's worthy of their campaign contributions. Judge Walker's ruling on Prop 8 has him outraged as well.

He's doing the same thing McCain did in Arizona Angle did in Nevada and Meg and Carly have done here....trying to out-hate and out-bluster all the other RWs to win primaries before scrubbing websites and revising history to hide their alliances and true bases. He and Oliver North were on the two minutes of Hannity I heard.

In the past, he's been more moderate and light-hearted even while talking gop-lite. After all he used to be a democrat.
