The other day, Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had announced that he will be seeking the Presidency of the United States. Speaker Gingrich is one of the people credited with the 1994 Republican Revolution, announced his decision to seek the Republican Nomination via his official Twitter Account. Gingrich called for American’s to stand up with him, because this is something that not “one person in the Oval Office,” can do on his own.

Speaker Gingrich is an interesting candidate moving forward. He is the first major candidate to officially declare that he will be seeking the nation’s highest office.

To me, Gingrich is someone to really watch in the republican primaries. If social conservatives across the country can get past the fact that he has been married three times, then he could be just who the Republicans need going up against President Obama.

Gingrich is what some would call a policy heavyweight. He is well versed in Foreign Policy, as well as the country’s domestic problems. Gingrich takes a lot of credit when discussing the Clinton era Welfare reforms.

Gingrich going head to head against Obama would make conservatives salivate. Obama, who dare I say is not the best speaker without a teleprompter, would have a really tough time discussing policy on a lectern against the former Speaker.

While I am not ready to endorse a candidate for President, what I will say is that I am very much looking forward to how Republicans across the country receive Gingrich in his second go around in Politics. However, I will say that he better become a little more exciting, because if his candidacy is going to be anything like his announcement today, it could be a short run for him.
