For Those Who Think Gingrich Isn't Running II . . . .

    After calling the GOP field "pygmies," Newt Gingrich has retreated somewhat, with the Politico now reporting that the former Speaker had dinner recently with Fred Thompson and may back his bid to be president. Maybe so, though it could be that Gingrich was just taking a moment to size up the opposition.
     For Newt, it's probably now or never, which is why we still think he ends up a candidate. But trying to read his mind with its daily zigzags is a task well beyond our limited capabilities.
