Oh crap. It's starting already.

Gingrich will also travel to Iowa on May 12 and 13 for visits to Sioux City, Cedar Rapids and Iowa City and will likely participate in events for the local Republican Party and attend one or two book signings, Tyler said. The Iowa caucuses are the first election of the presidential nominating process, followed by the New Hampshire primary a few days later.

News of Gingrich’s foray into the presidential battleground and the array of politically significant activities have prompted enthusiastic responses from House Republicans. All GOP lawmakers who spoke with The Hill said he would be a top-tier candidate who could seriously challenge the early front-runners, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

1. Why don't you folks have a nice bake sale in his honor

I hear that many Mepublicans are real fond of cream pie these days.

2. Gingich rejoining the looney party?

I guess he figures if all the other crazies can make a grab for power now, he's got as good a shot as anyone.

3. Any idea if his events will be open to the public?

Unlike shrub's? I'd welcome a chance to show how unwelcome he is - no violence or anything. Gotta think he'd steal a page from shrub (hell they all steal) and handpick his crowd.

5. Sounds like he's only meeting with Repugs

We'll probably find out more in a few weeks. I don't imagine they'll be inviting any of us to be part of the welcoming committee.

7. Iowa City?

Wrong place for a rock ribbed righty like gingrich to be. He may be booed out of town in a hurry there. Unless of course, he handpicks his audience.

8. I might just have to make my way to Iowa City the day he is in town

If I don't work, I'd love to go to Iowa City and give him a nice welcome to Iowa.
