How likely is it that anything she says is based on provable fact?
Most of the interview will likely be old facts, and her own interpretations of them. However, I figure her biggest points will probably be:
1) Newt quits his wives when they no longer look like Barbie Dolls, how can you be certain he won’t just quit working hard in the oval office when the pressure is on him, or things don’t run his way.
2) Newt can’t be honest with his own wife, while he holds a position of power, or a position of power is his highest moral liability, why give him the situation that tempts him to do bad, why not retire from politics?
Again, these are the two points I see Marianne Gingrich making. Again, it’s also the problem with ex-wives too. If someone divorces you, that makes them an unquestionable expert on your character, at least in the eyes of the MSM.
I agree, this stuff needs to come out now, ASAP. Lets get the trash out in front, and not in october.

Many have Ex’s who have old “stories”. What is more telling is what he has done with his life since.
Now that Perry is throwing in the towel, Newt will get a boost. He's the only one with intestinal fortitude who can change this mess we're in.
He's not perfect, the last one who was...was crucified.
They took out Ryan in Ill. with some marriage crap. Next up they destroyed Cain with some bimbo stuff...now onto Newt. Same old playbook and it always works, for them so why let it go.
Here we are a small audiance. As such, our opinions are pretty much the same but not widely read...a prime time interview on ABC could have devastating affects on Newt’s campaign because the mindless out in TV land will just go with the story as edited by the ministers of propaganda at ABC.
Newt’s still ABO. Heaven help us, and I’d love to wring the necks of the GOP insiders that brought us to this crossroads!!!
It’s most likely the work of the MSM and Marianne Gingrich, again, sometimes ex-spouses can bring up dirt. You also have to remember the media principles: if someone is an “ex” of something, they are to be viewed as an expert on it.

I thought news organizations were supposed to report the news - not decide the ethics of reporting the news.
It’s not their job to decide when or if something newsworthy gets reported - just whether the news is real and substantiated.
Guess these media “kingmakers” have to huddle and confer about how to best spin this to help out Obumo down the road.
If Bill Clinton can get elected not once, but twice, with women accusing him of being a serial sexual predator, one even accusing him of raping her in the White House, NOTHING this woman says will can Newt Gingrich. Oh, but I almost forgot, he was a democrat, so it’s OK.
I agree, better now than later, and honestly, Gingrich should get some sense and support Santorum.
“Did the democrat on Fox news say that Newt wanted to become a swinger?”
THAT would leave a mark.
“Ethics” my a$$...
All the left is concerned with is the question
“does this advance communism?”
Anyone else put in mind of how Michael Isikoff came to be called Spikey....?
I wish Larry Sinclair would break out the stained blue jeans.
Yes, the new twitter from drudge is “OPEN MARRIAGE?” She claims he wanted to keep marriage and Calista.
Sounds like over-kill on the drama dept. but there goes the Defense of Marriage Act.
At the risk of appearing dense, what does “ABO” mean?
Why don’t they put on Larry Sinclair, that would cause a stir for sure.
One of the things that doesn’t get mentioned much in discussions about Gringrich’s marriages, is that he has had a major religious conversion, and since that time he seems to be walking a different path.
George W. Bush was a party boy and a drunk before he found religion, and it changed his life.
Gingrich became a Catholic and seems to have righted his life in this area. The question that we should be asking is whether he has continued to stay on that “right path” since his religious conversion, not dwell on what he did before.
Of course, a lot of people don’t believe religion can change your life. But, I happen to believe it can, and I’m happy to see someone put their past behind them and turn over a new leaf.
Ya gotta hand it to the left. They do stick together. Anything true or untrue so long as it advances their liberal causes.
Conservatives on the other hand naively look for truth and rationality. Then we leave it to the cretins in the Repub party to package and market the dullest mediocre puppet they think will appease the masses.
I don’t think we’ve ever been closer to needing a third party.
