"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, whose background makes him unlikely to gain
widespread support, has spent months hinting that he may enter the race if no suitable candidates emerge, all the while attempting to build a kind of grassroots structure. He recently called the GOP’s crop of candidates a “pathetic” bunch of “pygmies.”
But the likelihood of a run by “Law & Order” star Fred Thompson, who also plans a late entry, has stolen much of Gingrich’s thunder. Thompson’s rising star 'would appear to shade some of the sunlight' from Gingrich, as Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform put it. "
Here is my prediction, I don't think either one of them is going to actually join the race, what they are doing is using the potential of joining the race as a way of keeping their faces and names in the news. At the same time they are using it as a way of injecting their own ideas into the race, the other candidates have to address the issues that they are bringing up or risk losing support. It is a great idea really, you can't lose.
