Jim, as you've no doubt seen by now, there is mixed reaction here on FR to your recent pro-Newt commentary.
I think this poll result indicates something I have felt for a long time: those who call themselves "conservative" in national polls are a few points closer to the middle of the road than are John and Jane Q. Freeper.

Nope. I think it means that a lot of conservatives have a better memory of all that Newt did for conservatism in the 80s and 90’s than a lot of John Q Freepers.
