Newt, Melissa, and Lou ...

A few things happening today...

First, over at Politics Daily, I argue that conservatives would forgive Newt Gingrich in a heartbeat if he ran.

Second, I was on Melissa Clouthier's excellent podcast yesterday, discussing intellectualism in the conservative movement. We discuss Buckley, Beck, Reagan, Palin, Limbaugh -- and more.

Lastly, unless rain messes up my flight, I'm heading to NYC and am scheduled to be on Lou Dobbs Tonight.
