Great debater. Sharp, quick mind. Deep personal moral failings. I think there is something wrong with him in fact. Something is just not right. Way too many corroborated stories from Capitol Hill days, an open secret so to speak by many colleagues. We would all be piling on if he were a liberal rather than rationalizing it away and attacking the ex wife. My I hope he has truly had a Road to Damascus. If he has sewn his wild oats and gotten it out of his system, he can be forgiven. The Presidency is very serious and takes a very strong man what with all those swooning women incessantly around him in the West Wing, Clinton showed us that much.
Spot on, AIT! I don't know if he has had a Road to Damascus moment. My personal opinion is to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he has. His conversion to Roman Catholicism is actually a step in the right direction. Not because I'm a Catholic myself, but because I know Catholics are not particularly lenient on divorce, to put it mildly. It may be Newt's way of saying he's not going back down that road. I hope so.
But I also know that a lot of women voters (plus a few men) which might otherwise be inclined to vote GOP will take a pass on Newt precisely because of this past. And it isn't if, it is when the enemedia decides to make a major issue of it. They can't play that card with Romney, Paul, Perry or Santorum. So I'm supporting the most viable conservative of those four. Guess who that is?
