Ed Rollins, National Campaign Manager for President Reagan, sets the record straight about Newt's work with Reagan:
"I'm going to straighten it out once and for all: Gingrich was a very important congressional ally. Congressmen aren't in the White House all day long, and they're not basically giving advice. But he and Jack Kemp and Trent Lott and others were among 10 or 12 most important players and most loyal to Ronald Reagan. At the same time, Mitt Romney was an independent and he was not on the political scene at all. It's stupid argument. They ought to be talk about this future, not the past."
