re: #346 palomino

This is the same Gingrich who wrote an alternative history of the Civil War. Guess what happens in it? That’s right, the South wins Gettysburg, and the course of the whole war is altered. That should help make inroads with the minority vote.

The guy is a virtual neo-confederate. One (small) step up from Robert Stacy McCain. He’s yesterday’s news. But he loves media attention, so even if he can’t get the nod, he wins.

I had forgotten about that.

“The authors show thorough knowledge of the people, weapons, tactics and ambience of the Civil War, though their portrayals of historical figures like Lee, Meade, James Longstreet and Richard Ewell betray a certain bias (the Confederate men are noble and wise, the Union leaders hot-tempered and vindictive).”

That should earn Newt some brownshirt points when the time comes.
