Newt’s not the only one who has a past — Rick Perry was a top supporter and campaign organizer for Al Gore’s presidential campaign back in 1988. And the old saw “older but wiser” comes to mind.
That stretches all credibility to the breaking point. He was one Democrat legislator who endorsed Gore in the Texas Democrat primary. It is very well document as denied by Gore's then campaign people that Perry had any active or substantial role in the campaign.
Coulter using John Birch Society talking points to puff up her guy Romney is unimaginable when thinking of the impeachment era Ann Coulter. To me, something shifted with her after W was elected and she'd never really returned to the reservation.
