Don’t underestimate Newt Gingrich, warns Dan Rather during an MSNBC roundtable discussion today.

“Anyone who has covered Newt Gingrich over the years knows better than to underestimate him,” said Rather, referencing his political comeback. “Newt Gingrich on the move politically is as dangerous as a wounded wolverine.”

Rather added that Jon Huntsman was the best candidate for the GOP in the 2012 general election, but would have a hard time winning the Republican primary.
