Even though Newt Gingrich is no longer in the presidential race, he still regularly voices his opinions on the upcoming elections. Recently, Fox News Hannity & Colmes interviewed Gingrich. While previously saying that he believes Senator Clinton will be the next president, he stated that she has shown weaknesses in the debates. Gingrich talked about the upcoming Iowa caucus, and said that due to Senator Clinton's exposed weaknesses, he believes that Senator Edwards and Senator Obama could win it as well. Regardless of poor showings at debates, Gingrich still feels Senator Clinton will still win the Democrat nomination. He also talked about the Republican nominations, and said, "This is the most wide-open Republican nomination since 1940." He believes Mayor Giuliani will most likely win the nomination. But at the same time, feels that Senator McCain, Governor Huckabee, Governor Romney, and Senator Thompson are closely behind. He also thinks Governor Huckabee has been the most impressive the past two months.
In the next week, Gingrich will be appearing on a variety of interviews. He will be on two separate Fox News interviews, and will be on the Good Morning America show on November 27. He will be all over the nation, including to California, New York, and Washington.

It's interesting how Gingrich seems to become almost more important after he dropped out of the presidential race; his opinions seem to hold more weight because he was an 'insider.' Simply dropping out of the race does not lessen his political influence - he seems to be travelling as much as any of the other candidates. While he's suggested Clinton and Giuliani might win their prospective nominations, it will be interesting to see if Gingrich specifically endorses a candidate, and if so - who this candidate might be.
Is Gingrich the Republican Gore in terms of his endorsement of a candidate? Of course, in the interview, Gingrich was rather political in saying that a) Clinton will be the Dem nominee, which galvanizes Republicans, and b) all of the Republican front-runners are potential winners. Would Gingrich like to the VP?
