Newt did not have “bimbo eruptions.” He married his 30-something old high school teacher when he was 19, and it ended in divorce a number of years later; he married a woman who was clearly a nutcase, they were separated with an agreement that permitted them both to date other people, they got back together again, and then she called him on his birthday and told him that she was cleaning out the house and leaving and planned to take him for everything she could get. At that point, they did get divorced, and then he married his current wife, to whom he has been married for a good number of years. I would hardly call that “bimbo eruptions.”
I actually think that the problem with the women’s vote is that most women, including conservative women, are much more liberal and will gravitate towards the liberals in any race. Deep down inside, a lot of women are “compassionate conservatives,” they feel that the government should be “taking care of us,” and they will always go for the person who reflects those views.
Both Romney and Santorum are big government, compassionate conservative types, and I think that’s the secret of their appeal to women. Also, Santorum comes across as weak and immature, and there are a lot of women who like that.
Women like Santorum because they know that they can trust him, like none of the other candidates. What you see is what you get.
Newt gave solutions first, Newt answered the attacks and responded to every smear against him on his site..Newt.Org. Newt went after the media, Newt attempted to focus the debates on Obama and the differences between each candidates solutions...the others could not rise above the attacks and have proven to be very petty and viscious. What Newt stated about Santorum is a FACT!
