Prof. Gingrich's Advice for Citizen Palin

From Politico:
If Sarah Palin wants to make a 2012 political comeback, she’ll need three types of speeches, some serious television face time, a credible organization and a bucket load of sheer determination.

Oh, and she might want to get a place outside of Alaska, somewhere in the lower 48.

That’s some of the advice former House Speaker Newt Gingrich offered when POLITICO asked him what Palin needs to do to keep her presidential options open.

Since he’s among the few to come close to pulling off what Palin, the ex-governor of Alaska, may ultimately seek to do, Gingrich is uniquely qualified to comment.

The former Georgia congressman has been out of elected office for more than decade, yet he’s a perennial on the Republican Party’s presidential watch lists, and he is regularly consulted by party insiders for strategic and policy advice.
To us, it seems that the former governor is not doing so badly, what with her continuing series of Facebook posts on the raging health care debate. But Professor Gingrich's political advice is always worth reading, and some of it, at least, is worth heeding.

  1. I like Newt's advice but I find this constant she needs to do this or that barrage demeaning to her. Why is nobody giving Obarfy any advice?

  2. Sarah Palin has accomplished more with a handful of Facebook posts in the last week than Gingrich has with hundreds of appearances on FOX over a period of months. Maybe Gingrich should be asking her advice.

    When her book comes out, she'll probably follow that with a nice, long speaking and book signing tour.
