Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told Newsmax magazine Friday that he expects Sarah Palin to be one of the Republican presidential candidates who will seek the GOP nomination in 2012. Here's the story from The Hill's Michael O'Brien:
Gingrich, himself a potential candidate for president, sized up the field of would-be competitors, detailing which GOP politicians he expects to jump into the race.- JP
The field Gingrich listed included: former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Palin, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Sen. John Thune (S.D.), and Rep. Ron Paul (Texas).

Gingrich, asked specifically about Palin, said she'd be a formidable opponent.
"I think she's already a very strong personality and has the potential to be a very strong candidate," he said.
As for his own plans, the former House speaker, who's flirted with presidential bids in previous cycles only to back out, said he'd decide on a run early next year.
Help me, Guys! There is NO other Republican candidate. Other than Palin, the names are just "talk". What are they doing to earn the nod? Who are they? She's the only non-establishment Repub who has a chance (Lord knows, no estab is gonna win this one) who's opening her mouth and stating what she thinks (and I agree with virtually everything she's saying). I'm reminded of the regular segment of a bygone comedian's radio show entitled "Non-Entities in the News"...
