The personal stuff may be old news to political junkies, but I assure you if the public gets reminded of it in the near future, and they will, Newt’s poll ratings will plunge. He is simply not a likeable person, and his personal history, which makes Clinton’s look respectable, will come out stongly in the general election if we’re naive enough to nominate him.
You may be right, but the media never covered the facts of Gingrich’s marriage. Unhappy for thirteen years, the couple decided to divorce and Jackie filed for divorce. She had a lump that was malignant and because the family was close and the couple not enemies, Newt took the girls to visit her after she filed but while she was recuperating from surgery. How hard is that? Millions do it for the sake of family unity and respect for one another. Was he a womanizer like Clinton, raping and running, perverted? I really don’t think so.
