Gingrich for President? The Nashua Telegraph Online is reporting the Newt Gingrich wants to have open debate, in the tradition of the Lincoln-Douglas debates instead of the, "demeaning," debates from recent elections. Good idea. Coyote Gulch recommends that he start a weblog and invite the other candidates to post in the comments. Better yet the former congressman should post in the comments section on an opponent weblog. Thanks to Oval Office 2008 for the link. New West: "...Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne is kicking the tires of a western states primary." Category: 2008 Presidential Election 7:03:43 PM

Big Government Conservatism Some interesting facts from Nick Gillespie. He writes, "First Five Years, Percentage Changes in Real Discretionary Spending: LBJ, 25.2%; Nixon, -16.5%; Reagan, 11.9%; Clinton, -8.2%; Bush, 35.2%." Thanks to Andrew Sullivan for the link.
