Gingrich won't rule out presidential run

Hey Newt, let me rule that out for you: no one will vote for you.

People make fun of Bush's "compassionate conservatism", the joke being that all it means is that he's not as angry as Newt Gingrich. Say what you will about the concept, but the fact is it got Bush elected twice, and Gingrich doesn't have it (whatever it is). That, along with the fact that his well-publicized marital indiscretions would preclude him from laying claim to the religious-right, pretty much dooms him against the likes of Bill Frist (who will be the religious-right's candidate of choice) and Rudy Giuliani (who will hold the label of "electable", whether it be true or not).
