Im assuming that’s a royal “we”, unless there is a debate about who will run. Mostly I am impressed he can keep straight the name of his present wife…(just to put in a word.)He is so swarmy.

I looked her up on Wikipedia, and she looks like a regular girl. Plays French horn in the local orchestra, sings in the church choir, and no big bux apparently. “It must be love I’m feelin’, it must be love.”

Too lazy to google, but do I remember correctly that Callista has money? In which case, she’s in for the long haul, even if she gets sick.

if he and his wife, Callista, assess the field of candidates

Assuming she’s not on her deathbed, in which case replacement will be prompt.

I’m about 2/3 thru Charlie Wilson’s war. I guess I’d change my vocabulary slightly, in the sense that the Soviets didn’t “win” before the U.S. entered. There was always fundamentalist guerilla resistence. But it was pretty ineffective in terms of actually challenging Soviet influence. The U.S. actually entered the fray pretty quickly, but U.S. aid (“fighting the war to the last Afghan” is a favorite phrase of that era) was not very effective until Avrakotos took on his staff an analyst, whose name eludes me right now, who completely overhauled the kind of aid. The U.S. was sending over WWI Enfields, and not enough ammunition, for example, when what was required was the same guns the Soviets were using to that the guerillas could use captured supplies.

Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker and perennial big thinker in the Republican party, said this morning that he will likely run for president in 2012 if he and his wife, Callista, assess the field of candidates in 2011 and feel “a requirement as citizens that we run.

The only Requirement Newt needs is the ability to raise enough Campaign Cash to run a major campaign.
