I’d feel somewhat better about it if I thought that a lot of conservatives were not going to have their socks shocked off.
Of course, during the campaign, it will likely be dismissed as “he’s just saying that to get elected, once in the White House, good old conservative Newt will be back.”
Man, does that sound familiar.
Anyway, I hope I’m wrong because it sure looks like conservatives are going to be a cheap date for old Newt.
Well, I’m not going to sit her and pine for Palin, Bachmann or Perry when we have an experienced and knowledgeable veteran conservative warhorse like Gingrich running solidly over Romney and the rest of the field. If Palin joins the race or Bachmann surges, it could be a different picture. Meanwhile, I’m here to ensure we first defeat Romney, then take the battle directly to Obama.
Gingrich is one bulldog who can do that. Give me another and I’ll be happy. The more conservative bulldogs we have in the race, the better our chances. Romney’s the one who should be down in the single digits and all of our conservative bulldogs competing for the lead. Bring them on.
