Just last week Forbes told WMVU radio in New Hampshire that he advocates a federal version of California's Proposition 187, a measure championed by Governor Pete Wilson forbidding illegal immigrants to receive government benefits. This is a turnabout from his views in 1993, when in his Forbes magazine column he equated Wilson's scapegoating of illegal immigrants with the interning of Japanese Americans during World War II and castigated Wilson's stance as "morally wrong...
...balancing the budget, the Speaker offered a one-word response: "Intuition.'' (This was a sharp contrast to his reasoned response to the same question by Time last September, when he explained that he'd settled on that time frame after consulting with former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, banker Pete Peterson and others.) Then he devoted much of the remaining time to fuming about his mistreatment aboard Air Force One. "This is petty," Gingrich allowed. "I'm going to say up front it's petty ...but I think it's human." He pumped a final bullet into his foot...
...field, and GOP voters just didn't seem to respond to him. While Specter is a very passionate senator, he doesn't have the stature a person needs to fill the office of the presidency." Specter, 65, is the second declared candidate to leave the race. California Governor Pete Wilson quit in September.

The group defined its early cheekiness at the 1963 Royal Command Performance before the Queen, where John famously said, "Would the people in the cheap seats clap your hands, and the rest of you, if you'll just...
Powell is, therefore, much more liberal than most Republican voters, mixing fiscal conservatism and social liberalism. Pat Buchanan has vowed to lead the conservatives out of the convention should Powell be nominated. Pete Wilson not so subtly called Dole "The best general" to lead Republicans back to the White House. Newt Gingrich questioned whether he should enter the race because he thinks that Powell would move the party in the wrong direction. The party could face another bitter civil war, like that between Gold-water and Rockefeller, should Powell actually throw his hat in the ring...
