I don't buy the line that Ronald Reagan couldn't get elected today. Reagan wasn't perfect, but he was one who articulated and (mostly) upheld Conservative values. Unfortunately, the two leading Republican candidates right now are not exactly poster boys for Conservatism.
I only know one thing for sure. I won't vote for Obama. As for an opponent to support, I hope things don't proceed as indicated. Otherwise, many of us will be facing a huge dilemma.
But one is definitely more Conservative than 'the other' - if only because he is more knowledgeable and able to articulate that vision. (No small consideration, of course; as a Country moves, hopefully; forward.)
Sugges all in doubt here go to Newt campaign site or just wikipedia and read full resource/bio per Newt.
NOt all perfect for sure - and of course (and now without Democrat 'politics' imposed against him) - but altogether; an impressive biography of accomplishment and proven leadership; that none of our other candidates can come close to.
