I'm curious if and why either of you (whom I highly respect) might support the more moderate Newt Gingrich and not the more conservative Tom Tancredo?

This quote from Newt concerned me:

When asked about teaching intelligent design in schools, Gingrich said it shouldn’t be taught along with more scientific-based theories such as evolution. “I would teach science in science class,” he said. “If a school board wants to teach it (intelligent design) in philosophy class, then fine.”

I agree with Newt on this:

“If a school board wants to teach it (intelligent design) in philosophy class, then fine.”

Though where they choose to teach what is the school board's business, not Newt's (other than in his own district and then only as far as he can influence the board like any other private citizen).

I think that education is a local issue and the feds should stay out.
