I think this serial philanderer is in for a bigger fight from the rest of the republican party - which has shifted far further right than Newt's historical voting record - than from the president.

Because the president is a classy guy, and won't just point out that Gingrich cheated on two deathly ill wives.

Just because our President is Black doesn't mean that he is going to slit anyone's throat.

Well, okay, there was that little Bin Laden incident, but I doubt that he would resort to that sort of thing with Mr. Gingrich.

Mr. Gingrich's candidacy makes it practically a sure thing that Mr. Obama will serve another term.

Gingrich is a joke and won't win the GOP nomination. Not even a remote threat.

Seriously. The teabaggers will call him a RINO.

I don't think he's Obama's concern. He'll never make it through the primary.

Our president learned his politics from Chicago gangsters and cronies. He won't slit throats. We will throw people under the bus.

Who knows...maybe Gingrich will become the GOP's choice for vice-president.
{Better him than the Donald.}

Seconded on the notion of Gingrich being of relative unimportance.

I'd be pretty surprised if Gingrich got the Republican nomination. But in the meantime, you can expect rhetoric to get ugly, with all sorts of racist code words and accusation of Democrats being Nazis - with little or no Republican criticism - till he gets drummed out of the race by his more popular rivals.

Gingrich has too many negatives to be a viable Republican candidate.

I'm hoping Gingrich is just a joke contender who will quickly pass away. If he got nominated, Obama would get another 4 years.

All the promising conservatives (and no, Mitt Romney does not qualify) who are putting their hats in the ring are being almost totally ignored in the mainstream press.

Gingrich thought health insurance mandates were a great idea right into 2008. He proposed something very much like PPACA. If he and Romney magically win and run on a ticket in 2012, teabaggers will need a federally mandated suicide watch.

Yeah, the RNC is sort of in a bind because their own constituency is bifurcated.

They appear to be certain that the extreme right has to be appeased, but doing that too well will alienate the moderates - and neither side on it's own can elect a president.

Gingrich may have some bumps and bruises, but he is nowhere near as bad as Obama. Since when has Gingrich told a United States Company (Boeing)that they can't build a factory in a State (South Carolina)?

If all we have to worry about is that the man may still have issues with having affairs we can put a padlock on the man's trousers.

Playing the race card again? The smart thing to do would be to stop hitting your head against the brick wall after the first time you run into it.

By race card, you mean something that isn't true? Gingrich and his friends at Fox jumped all over a rap artist who had been invited to the White House recently, describing him as a thug. Well, he isn't a thug; he's very socially conscious, and he raps about hope for poor people. So, why does Gingrich and company make this guy out to be such a menace? One glaring fact is - - he's black; and a black rapper is going to always be useful to the likes of Gingrich and friends in order to scare the bejeezus out of conservative white people.
