Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he intends to wait until fall to decide whether to run for President. By then, "either one of these folks captures the ideas and captures the nomination, or they don't," Gingrich says, adding that a candidate with his name recognition and credibility with conservatives would still have time to catch up.
