Valin Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Time: Zeke J Miller April 29, 2013 Newt is back. His book business has been revitalized, he’s throwing himself onto the speaking circuit, and he’s a once and possibly future regular talking head on television. Well into his fourth decade in American politics — and almost a year to the day since dropping out of the 2012 Republican primary — Newton Leroy Gingrich shows no signs of slowing down. Indeed, Gingrich, 69, is making losing a presidential campaign look a lot like a victory. Speaking to TIME between sending tweets and meeting with voters on a “thank you” tour this week in South Carolina — the only competitive state he won during the 2012 Republican primaries — Gingrich said his post-presidential life has been “exhilarating.” “The campaign was a very extraordinary and exhausting experience for both of us, but this is different,” he says, referring to his wife Callista. “Where that kept you tired and focused on trying to get to the next event, this is about opening yourself up and solving problems.” And there’s nothing that Gingrich doesn’t love more than solving problems. “I get a big emotional kick out of it,” he adds.
