People of faith can be comfortable with Newt Gingrich for President. Evangelicals are people of principle, rightly so, as people whose world view is based on the scripture we are seeking a candidate for President who will help to rebuild the country's Judaeo-Chritian heritage. There is a movement to marginalize the influence of the church. In a post modern world many Christians have become the pariah' of the media and the left. Due to a misunderstanding of our heritage and our Constitution our courts have interpreted a principle of separation of church and state to mean anything government touches must be secular.

This was before Palin had even been considered by Mc Cain. Well it is time for another laughable prediction we will see who gets the last laugh. I believe the Republican nominee will be Newt Gingrich. Historically defeating an incumbent President is difficult. Since Civil War of the incumbent Presidents who have been defeated only two-- Rutherford B. Hayes, and Herbert Hoover-- have been defeated out right. The others -- Taft, Carter, Ford, Bush-- all faced opposition either from within their own party or a viable third party candidate. The Bully Pulpit and constant news cycle surrounding the White House give the President a formidable advantage. Barak Obama is vulnerable though because of a terrible record.
