The democratic party doesn't care much for personal values thats why they elected Clinton twice as they say that personal life doesnt matter. republicans like to hold their politicians to a higher standard thats why when republicans are accused of hanky panky they resign. Rudy is overrated imho. I mean do we really want to nominate a man whose been married three times, and is currently married to his mistress? Rudy would destroy the party if he was our nominee. As much as i like gingrich's ideas, he isnt exactly the nominee we want to put up for our family values crowd.
Lets not underestimate George Allen in 2008 now. Yea yea i know here comes the anti-senator chorus but lets remember he was a governor and with hillary as the nominee the notion that a senator can't win the white house becomes a MOOT point. The reason we dont like senators is becauase they often compromise and have no executive experience. You cant quite say that about allen, hes been very consistent and was a former governor.
As for newt, lets just leave him as a policy advisor of sorts since hes pretty smart with that, but no way do we want him as a candidate. Although the plus side to having newt on board would be that i know hed push the illegal immigration issue and itd force the other candidates to take it up.
What makes you think that? I don't recall Newt being particularly strong on immmigration reform.
