Smart money is telling the Bush family to take a pass on a "few" elections. I'd put that number somewhere around 4. Gingrich is no more of a "scum" than any of the players of his era, read up on the whole bunch. He was, however, one of the instrumental people in the ever-widening divide between the Dems and Reps, a rift that traces its roots at least back as far as Nixon's ouster from office.
They played HARD in Gingrich's time, but his initial push was filled with idealism. That's the reason I'm not going to burden Mr. Obama with any of my hopes, ideals are sketches of desires and the weight of expectation has wrecked many a bright young leader. Big change in our government is going to require big changes in our culture, and so far I'm not all that keen on the direction that the either polarity is suggesting.
