Newt: "the one candidate who has a real record of implementing conservative government"

So says Richard Viguerie, the conservative and the person who helped develop direct mail outreach.

He wrote recently:

"Gingrich, on the other hand, is well known to many conservative leaders who recognize that, despite his self-acknowledged errors and flaws, he is the one candidate who has a real record of implementing conservative government.

Balancing the budget, welfare reform and a host of other conservative initiatives that Gingrich championed as Speaker are not mere campaign rhetoric -- they actually happened."
