All that being said, Marianne would have been better served to let it go and to keep her mouth shut. And I would crawl over broken glass to vote for Newt over 0bama. I agree with almost everything you've said. It would have been better if Newt had not been unfaithful - sexually - and if she had not been unfaithful - spiritually. Neither of them upheld the highest or even the minimum standards of a good marriage.
If we were voting for 'husband of the year' - I wouldn't vote for Newt. But that's not what we're voting for....
I feel more anger toward the press - a group that would NEVER trash a democrat for anything even like this - or anything a thousand times worse.
It's time to pull the right of the MSM to decide that conservative candidates MUST be pure as the driven snow. While dems can wallow in whatever filth and corruption they can find...
Like you I would crawl over broken glass to vote for Newt over Obama... Like you, I wish for a better world...

Edwards was noodling his “videographer” while his wife was dying of cancer...and how long did the press sit on that story to protect him? They hinted at a scandal in a presidential campaignn, but would never publish the info until the National Enquirer forced their hand.

I have a humorous friend who one day joked and said things like this is why you hear stories about men putting their wives in wood chippers rather than getting a divorce. My take is, the Jerry Springer show was created just for her.

It was wrong for Newt to find a new partner while still married to Marianne. I believe that Newt has stated publicly that he has made many mistakes and he is sorry for them. It is our job to make a judgement about whether or not he is sincere is saying that he was wrong, has repented, received forgiveness from God and people where he could and has grown as a person. To be honest, the jury is still out for me. I am an agnostic about Newt who will have to decide when it is time to vote in the primary in my state. We are not voting for a saint, we are voting for the politician who will challenge the guy who is fully intent upon destroying this country. I want someone nominated who can take him out (politically speaking, of course), not some hyper-moral milquetoast who will lose. We tried that route with Carter after the mess of Watergate and associated scandals - how'd that work out for us? Seems to me that we're STILL dealing with the consequences of people in 1976 not voting with their heads, but with their hearts - Iran comes to mind.
The Perfect is the enemy of the Good.
That said, I certainly feel more comfortable that Newt has had enough humility to publicly state, on more than one occasion, that he did wrong, was sorry, and was walking the correct path now. Remember, we humans are purposely designed to be imperfect - our job is to improve ourselves, not to be perfect since that is impossible.

Newt Gingrich met Marianne Ginther in 1981 at a fund-raiser. She was 30. She had just broken up with a married man and father of three whom she had dated for some time. ... Interesting...

Christians are not without sin. There is always redemption and forgiveness though not always reconciliation.
