I’m actually reading about Newt’s global warming thing. He’s pretty much opposed to any and all federal regulation (as far as I can see), including cap-and-trade.
I think we have to stop waiting for the “perfect” conservative. They don’t exist. No one will be 100% perfect on all the issues. We had several good candidates in the primaries, and we spent so much time tearing them down because they weren’t “true” conservatives, we got stuck with McCain. Granted, the media and crossover Dems and Indys had a lot to do with, as well. Could anyone of them have beaten Obama, I don’t know. Newt is more conservative than not, and his organizational and communication skills would be an asset the RNC.
