Newt Gingrich will announce he is entering the race for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination on Facebook and Twitter Wednesday.

Fox News has learned Gingrich will do his first post-announcement interview with Sean Hannity Wednesday evening. The former house speaker will headline an economic speech in Washington Friday morning before his public campaign announcement at the Georgia GOP convention in Macon Friday evening.

Spokesman Rick Tyler tells Fox News Gingrich will give a commencement speech Saturday at Eureka College in Eureka, Illinois, the alma mater of Ronald Reagan. Tyler also tells Fox News to expect Gingrich to spend the following week campaigning in the first-in-the-nation caucus state of Iowa.

Gingrich will skip the traditional early campaign phase of forming an exploratory committee and will jump straight into the race with the Wednesday announcement.

I welcome him to the race. he's another wingnut that will certainly help whatever candidate I end up supporting.

Please elaborate on why you consider him a "wingnut"?

Why is that that everytinme someone talks of how great the Clinton Years were, they wish to Leave the Republican congress out of the loop, particularly when it comes to "Clinton's Budget".

Newt Gingrich has simply had too messy a personal life.

for starters, he's one of those righteous people that insists gay marriage threatens the idea of marriage. oh wait, he's been married and divorced how many times? oh, and cheated on how many of those wives? yeah, I thought so. people like that do more to threaten the ideals of marriage than a same-sex couple will.

there's plenty more, but it falls under the "I don't agree with most of what he had to say during his time in office" heading. somehow I don't think you'll agree with me.

True. It will make it more likely those on the fence would choose to vote for Obama instead getting Newt in office.

I like him because he was against a no fly zone in Libya....or was he for it? I forgot.

And Clinton didn't during the election for his second term?

I'm not too thrilled about his personal life my own darn self, however, ANY candidate that gives me confidence that they are up to resolving the critical issues that we now face in this country (immigration, job creation/deficit and debt, and foreign relations) then I am willing to overlook other things.

Like an opponent of his said in the debates the other night when asked about Newt-- just because a person has made mistakes in their personal life does not mean they should not stand up for what they believe is right.

The left didn't seem to have issues with Clinton getting busted for getting BJs in the oval office. Don't say that's different because he did not run on a platform of blahblahblah. I certainly do not remember Clinton running on a platform of being a lying, cheating dog that would most likely do what he did while representing our country to the entire world. Did I miss that?

Newt Gingrich Launches Presidential Campaign

This is hilarious! Pee-wee Herman running would make more sense to me.

[mmhmm]

I'm an Independent, not a Democrat, but if I WERE a Democrat I'd be jumping for joy about now! ;D

Newt (ering) the Left

Just how exactly is Newt neutering the left? Newt is actually Newt (ering) the right. Just another wingnut clown wasting time and money with absolutely no chance of ever becoming president.

However, I welcome the comedy...

Newt Gingrich's Charities Wither While His Political Organizations Thrive

As House Speaker in the 1990s, Gingrich made philanthropy a centerpiece of his revolution against Big Government, championing the idea that charities should be used to replace welfare programs. And he used charities to help pull it off. Running afoul of the House ethics committee and Internal Revenue Service, these tax-exempt nonprofits helped further his partisan agenda.

But tax records show that Gingrich's subsequent endeavors, however successful they've been at keeping Newt's name in the news, have been much less effective when it comes to the more traditional purpose of nonprofit organizations: Doing something useful for society. Gingrich, a prolific fundraiser, has been able to make it rain on Gingrich Holdings. The charitable ventures that bear his name, on the other hand, have suffered a drought.
