He won the R straw poll this spring. I assume that support today still stands, maybe even stronger. How often do these straw polls run? Annually?
"He won the R straw poll this spring. I assume that support today still stands, maybe even stronger."
There's a fairly good sized contingent, that appears determined to run to the center in 08, and there is a very vocal contingent intent on preventing that. It has the potential to be a more colorful presidential primary than Republicans are accustomed to experiencing. I really can't say where any support for a Gingrich presidential run might lie at present. I have reservations about how well social conservatives would deal with him, for reasons that do not need to be rehashed to be understood. That's his challenge to overcome. If he does, I can support him. If not, he'd be better suited for a role more along the lines of Rove.
