[The Gov's communications director Matt] David said the discussion between Gingrich and Schwarzenegger chief of staff Susan Kennedy did not focus on the current deadlock over the California state budget, but rather the governor’s goal of creating a more efficient state government that could include “consolidating some agencies and getting rid of overtime and sick time abuse.”
Newt shouldn't be dismissed for 2012, although it's not likely he'll give up his lucrative empire for a run. Nevertheless, Republicans of all ideologies seem to, at the very least, respect his mind and instincts.
