Now that Newt Gingrich is officially running for president, I wouldn’t be surprised if this video begins to make the rounds on conservative blogs:
On the bright side, Gingrich isn’t alone in his former acknowledgement of climate change and support for proactive measures. As Dave Weigel points out, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, and Jon Huntsman have all supported cap-and-trade at one point or another. Still, Gingrich is the only Republican to cut an ad with Nancy Pelosi in support of cap and trade, and that is bound to stretch his credibility with Republican primary voters.
