It is a very historical day - Gingrich tweeted, he is running
Honestly, this is how they told it on ABC Evening news. Something that has never been done before, tweeting a presidential announcement.


In a post on Twitter Wednesday, the former House speaker made official what has been an open secret for months: "Today I am announcing my candidacy for president of the United States."

I am so proud to be an American where we can call this historical! :sarcasm:

3. In an America we once knew, that might have been the case
But in today's America, this is what the M$M will hype as historical.

Sad but I am pretty sure that is how I heard it.

4. That's good some idiot has done it so it won't be a newsworthy event anymore
Twitter and Facebook are not sites that excite me.
