Good to See Newt being kept a float.I know I might not be exactly 100% for him. But now that he is the only one left and been actively after Romney then he is one person I could back. In fact, he has grown on me. I am happy he is fighting the good fight. I would have been behind Newt had he kept on winning after South Carolina and Georgia.
At the moment I’m keeping my options open. I will support Virgil Goode, who the constitution party nominated, if need be.
What cuts does Goode want to make in the Defense Dept? Goode has been a democrat, independent and now the constitution party.
Goode endorsed Wilder for gov of Va and Wilder was pro choice and anti gun. NO to Goode!
Wilder had a comfortable lead in the last polls before the election. The unexpected closeness of the election may have been due to the Republicans’ strong “get out the vote” efforts. Wilder had been candid about his “pro-choice” position in relation to abortion. Some observers believed the close election was due to what is known as the “Bradley effect”; they suggested that white voters were more likely to tell pollsters that they would support non-white candidates in given contests than to actually cast their votes for them.
During his tenure as governor, Wilder worked on crime and gun control initiatives. He also worked to fund Virginia’s transportation initiatives, effectively lobbying Congress to reallocate highway monies to those states with the greatest needs.[3] Much residential and office development had taken place in Northern Virginia without the state’s receiving sufficient federal money for infrastructure improvements to keep up. He also succeeded in passing state bond issues to support improving transportation. In May 1990 Wilder ordered state agencies and universities to divest themselves of any investments in South Africa because of its then policy of apartheid, making Virginia the first Southern state to take such action.
