She said when Gingrich admitted to a six-year affair with a Congressional aide, he asked her if she would share him with the other woman, Callista, who is now married to Gingrich.

"And I just stared at him and he said, 'Callista doesn't care what I do,'" Marianne Gingrich told ABC News. "He wanted an open marriage and I refused."

Yeah i’m sure all the soccer moms around the country will just laugh it all off. You know, tnose indepentd women voters, im sure they won’t care one bit. Especially the over 50% of them who have been through a divorce themselves.

Who cares what she says? I don’t. I’m voting for Newt. He’s the only one that can take out Obama, and the only one I’m voting for.

Why didn’t Cains’ “ex’s” and Newts ex say these things when their campaigns first started?

Newt definitely has a problem w/female voters already, but this neither hurts or helps him, I think its a wash.

sounds like she wasnt taking care of business at home. And didn't want him to accept anything else but an endless marriage to her.

Well that’s true, but this news isn’t “news” to them that really makes much difference. They already know his history.

Isn’t it interesting these women all think they are experts on the requirements to be president?

And what a shock, they want the whole world to know their ex boyfriend or ex husband isn’t qualified.

Really?

How much ‘moral character’ does it take to appear on TV and divulge personal and very private marital issues?

Duhhh...

“You’re fooling yourself. The ladies will care. And believe it or not...some men will too.”

Translation:

I hope someone cares so everyone will vote for Santorum! Thank you ex-wife, Romney and ABC! My candidate sucks but I’m willing to team up with you guys in order to win.

Well, that’s it. As an ex wife, she’s got no motive to lie.

Newt's wife has been making similar allegations for years.

Why wasn't anyone listening?

So people are just supposed to take the word of an ex-wife at face value?

Here it comes! For all you CfGs out there (chumps for Gingrich), I hope you enjoy mouthing, "character doesn't count," which you decried in 1992. ANY adulterer is a serial liar capable of convincing himself fully of the rightness of any course. This is why Newtie can turn on a dime, blowing "insurance mandate," "Global Warming," and "Contract with the Earth" in one instance and repudiating it the next.

Santorum for President. At least we won't have to be explaining away what happens because he is far less likely to "change his mind" after the election. All of those who mouth, "he can't win" should remember: That's what they said about Reagan. My dog could beat Barack Obama, as long as he is a conservative.
