January 30, 2012 Newt Gingrich Positions Himself as a Reagan-Style Conservative --------------------------------------------------------------- Newt Gingrich, who picked up an endorsement from former presidential candidate Herman Cain, has attempted to position himself as the true conservative in Florida's race. Newt Gingrich: "We ran a moderate in 1996 and we lost. We ran a moderate in 2008 and we lost. I think the only way to defeat Barack Obama is to run a solid, conservative, who can make the case for our values and our beliefs, our programs. I'm very proud to run on a Reagan-Gingrich record, and to say that I want to be the best job creation, paycheck president in American history, by focusing on jobs." .
