Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich isn’t that impressed with Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin, especially about her prospects in the 2012 presidential election. He categorizes Palin as “a significant player” for the GOP in the years to come, among “20 or 30 significant players,” such as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Utah Gov. John Huntsman, and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels.
One thing is for sure: Gingrich wants attention directed towards the Republican governors in hopes of a sound victory in 2010. It’s clear he wants to see the governors shape the state politics in the coming years, win in 2010, then prepare for the victory in 2012. The big question is who will emerge as the leader?
