Gingrich's "new ideas" are:

1.) Lower corporate taxes
2.) More domestic drilling
3.) Repeal "Obamacare"

How this is different from traditional Republican dogma, or the platforms of the other candidates, has yet to be revealed. There was a time when Newt did have good ideas... he worked across the aisle with Al Gore to develop the internet and he was a big supporter of the space program and other technology-related projects. One could interpret that as him being a rubber stamp for his corporate masters at Lockheed, but I think the man deserves some credit. It seems suspicious to me though, that Mr. "solutions for winning the future " is missing in action when it comes to alternative energy. I guess the oil companies are signing his checks now.

I think Gingrich is hoping to hang on long enough to get chosen as a VP candidate. I think thats where the real race is. The VP candidate doesn't face nearly as much heat or risk as much political capital as the POTUS candidate. Unless its somebody who is kryptonite like Palin or Bachmann.
