Presidential contender Newt Gingrich released a new website to save his nervous supporters, primarily from himself. The website lays out 16 positions that he once held, but now either regrets or considers simply “wrong.”

For example, while he once favored an individual mandate to our healthcare system, Gingrich has now come “to the principled conclusion that a mandate to purchase health insurance was unconstitutional, unworkable and counterproductive to lowering the cost of health care.”
