CA: Bring in Newt!

Even for a supposedly-liberal state like California, Gingrich shows a strong presence among conservatives. As a candidate with real solutions about the border, Republicans, especially in the greater Los Angeles and San Diego metros, find a Gingrich candidacy a welcome answer to societal needs.

A recent field poll from this past week shows that the talks about a Gingrich campaign is certainly tantamount to the want for a Gingrich campaign. As current GOP presidential contenders surrender to the consultant-dominated arena of politics and follow the "pale pastel" answers about how to solve immigration, healthcare, social security, and Iraq, the Republican base is demanding a candidate with intellectual alacrity in regards to realistic and solution-oriented policy. The result: A demand to draft Newt Gingrich for president. Even in California.

SF Chronicle: Poll rates Gingrich 3rd with state's GOP -- if he runs

Former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich would rank in the top three among GOP voter preferences in California -- right behind former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and second-place Arizona Sen. John McCain -- should he enter the 2008 presidential race, a new Field Poll shows.
"Giuliani certainly has done well, and McCain is a steady candidate. If you throw Newt in the mix, it shows there is a mood for someone else to get in,'' Dorinson says. "Now we're about ready to see the second act."
