Thanks. I'll assume Newt Gingrich is a West coast conservative and Weyrich is a Southern conservative.

No, Newt is an army brat/college professor who represented the southern state of Georgia in the House.

Weyrich is from Wisconsin and is a born-again Christian. He founded the Heritage Foundation.

There are regional trends politically, even if people representing those views don't match the region.

Personally would probably fall more under a 'Southern' conservative heading than a 'Western' one, although a small trip to Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Maryland about rounds up forays into the South.
