nearly every American president has had a mistress at some point in their life.
google it.
You have no idea what I was getting at. The point was that Newt gave up his opportunity to rise to this occasion. The wider public no longer respects him. Part of it was his philandering, part of it was his sell out to the enviromentalists, part of it was his absence of ethics, part of it was his obnoxious arrogance. Compare his delivery to Reagan and you will see what I mean.
Now, if Romney gets the R nod (a guy I don't care for), you can go ahead and pull the lever for Newt so BO will be able to do "its on" for 4 more years.
