Newt is just unlikeable, imo. We run Newt as our candidate, I’d expect Obama to get 60% of the women’s vote.
That's what my wife says too, for precisely that reason. Also, Calista as first lady?

All the women in my family are voting for Newt as President - not for a father, husband, brother or son.
So you see Newt as an old, white, short fat little guy - funny - because his appearance never comes up in our conversations. We discuss his successes as Speaker, his grasp of American history and its importance to the human race. We appreciate his knowledge of the Government and its Constitutional limits.
We admire his courage to step back into the arena after years in the political wilderness and we especially notice that he has no political favors outstanding or his Congressional colleagues would be falling in line to support him.
Judge a man, not by his friends; but by his enemies.
One woman to another.
We’ve had that problem since women were given the right to vote!
Same problem every four years!
>> We run Newt as our candidate <<
Don’t worry. Won’t happen. Even if he wins several primaries and/or caucuses during January, the air is bound to seep totally out of Newt’s balloon during the February “lull” — when there are no primaries or caucuses.
In fact, Newt’s anti-capitalistic remarks earlier today may already have blown a significant hole in the Gingrich balloon. So if the folks in New Hampshire hear a hissing sound tonight, it probably is hot air that even now is escaping!
Obama received around 56% of the female vote in 2008. As flawed as Gingrich may be, I don't see him repelling more women than McCain.
