Newt Gingrich Now Indicates It's Likely He'll Enter the Presidential Race

    Give my colleague David Bernstein credit for predicting this all along: Newt Gingrich indicated in an appearance on Good Morning America this morning that he's likely to seek the presidency.
    Of course, he'll deny that's what he meant in the hours and days ahead. But Gingrich can see the chaos on the GOP side and figures that there's a huge gap -- waiting to be filled by him, naturally.
    If and when Gingrich does get in -- probably around Labor Day -- it will have a huge impact on the GOP race. What his announcement this morning does for now is three things: It helps freeze the race on the GOP side until his plans are clarified; it hurts Fred Thompson, who is planning to enter the race himself soon, and it should fire up Democrats.  Gingrich is probably the most unelectable major Republican contender around -- even though the GOP grassroots loves him.
