Newt Gingrich Launches Presidential Exploratory Campaign

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is officially the second man on the GOP side maneuvering a run for the White House in 2012 behind Herman Cain, launching "Newt Explore" Thursday.

America's greatness lies in 'We the People.'

We are a nation like no other. To remain so will require the dedicated participation of every citizen, of every neighborhood, of every background. This is the responsibility of a free people.

We are excited about exploring whether there is sufficient support for my potential candidacy for President of this exceptional country.
