I won't be voting for Newt, I just think that the non-stop media attacks on every single Rep candidate have reached a new low point with interviewing his ex-wife.
People are cynical due to the barrage of negative ads they see everyday, but this takes it to a whole new level.
Maybe it will break the cycle of cynicism and people will start demanding actual debate rather than the gutter-sniping with 10-20-30-year-old stories.

Jesus H Christ you are oblivious about American History.
Let me know when Newt duels Joe Biden over this.

Obama will make him meltdown and show what a petulant child he really is.
I really don't think Independents and Moderates will support that.
I'm also not so sure that folks with ODS can really be called independents.
I said it 6+ months ago... Many Americans are PISSED at Obama and the Dems. They want someone to dress him & them down, visibly, publicly, in a place they cannot hide from it or spin it. They want someone capable of speaking (yelling) with that tenor of anger.
Christie was that. They didn't get him as a choice.
Although I personally believe Gingrich is a bad choice for president, he's the second best choice to vent that anger and get the issues floated and 'top priority' at this time (besides Christie).
This is why I predicted, IYRC, that Gingrich wasn't going to simply disappear and in fact would be an R contender. Even back when he was getting confetti dropped on his head by random gay men.

It seems to me to just be the current stop on the downward spiral.

Anyone who thinks that the Republicans candidates are getting treated worse than the Democratic ones got treated last election, is both stupid, and forgetful.

And ignoring the fact that there is only one primary at the moment.
'OMG, REPUBLICANS ARE GETTING SO MUCH MORE SCRUTINY!!!! LIBERALLZZZZ MEDIA'
The flip side, of course, is that Republicans are getting all the media exposure at the moment - both good and bad.

It shows patterns of immoral judgement, lying and hypocracy. It proves this man cannot be trusted even by his loved ones and the ones he swore to be true to. It shows that even when he is out in front damning a man to hell for getting a blowjob in the white house and how immoral and wrong it is, he can be doing the exact same thing behind the scenes and knows he can trick the idiots among you into believing it is ok cuz he asked for forgiveness. This man and his wife are liars and hypocrites. If the moral majority on your side backs this man, it will prove the ultimate hypocracy.
