DraftNewt

September 15, 2006 · By

Following up on George’s discussion of Rudy Guiliani’s chances of winning the Republican nomination for president: here is draftnewt.org, which, incidentally, a Blogging Tory writes at.

I’m personally not sure about Gingrich’s chances. If Guiliani comes on strong, however, a southern conservative like Gingrich may make an ideal stop-Guiliani candidate.

    Thanks for the link, much appreciated. The base is always critical for any candidate to win a nomination. This is why McCain failed to capture the nomination in 2000. The GOP base wants a true conservative, I don’t think a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage Republican like Giuliani can win, although on national security i believe he would be excellent.

    The great leaders of our time: Churchill, Reagan, FDR, Thatcher, had a great understanding of history. Where we came from, where we are , and where we need to go as a civilization. I think Newt is the only candidate with the ability and background to analyze where the Western world was, is, and needs to go; and, who can articulate that to the people. That’s why I support Newt.

    I agree that Newt would probably be the strongest intellect in the race.

    I think that Guiliani will attact the most initial attention, but this will serve only to energize those Republicans that oppose to him. Gingrich is in a good position to appeal to the social conservative elements in the south and in the midwest heartland.

    I’d rather have Newt as prez and Rudy as vice-president. But either combination of the two would be unbeatable. Especially against Hillary Clinton!!!

Got something to say? (Read the rules first)
