Couple of interesting quotes from Newt...

like him or not, he's an intelligent individual.

“I’m not running against any of my friends, they’re all good people," Gingrich said at a breakfast at the Best Western here. "But if you watch them and watch me, the difference in the depth of knowledge and the difference in the ability to debate Obama, the difference in actually having done it at the national level, I can’t only think if you’re worried about the future of the country and you’re worried about how we get the country fixed, I’m a pretty good mechanic who knows how to fix the car and the other folks are good at selling it.

Gingrich also pointed to the black community as being most disadvantaged with the current Social Security system. “Sadly most African Americans are the most disadvantaged because they die the youngest so they pay their whole lifetime and it transfers to somebody else because it’s not an estate.”

A man that cheated on not one, but two wives is beneath contempt. If your own wife can't trust you, should anyone else? A man who will be unfaithful to the most important commitment he can make cannot be thought to "faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

He will never have my vote.

But I guess it's okay once you're in the white house... (cough... Bill Clinton... cough... JFK...)

fwiw... I don't completely disagree with you, but being faithful to your wife (as much as I value it personally) is not one of the top characteristics I would consider when evaluating qualifications for POTUS.

JFK died years before I was born and besides he was a horrible president. Didn't vote for Clinton.

The book says that the man that is not faithful in small things will not be faithful in big things.

I'm good with that... but while faith alone may get you into heaven, I don't know that it will accomplish much in the white house. Unfortunately it will take "works" to get our government on the right track.

eh, faith without works is dead

I just want someone in the whitehouse I can respect and I can't respect an adulterer

Same here... but there have been very few politicians (President or otherwise) that I have much respect for - whether it be for adultery, cheating, or just doing a piss-poor job. At this point I'd gladly settle for someone who could just get us on the right track, and Newt seems to have a better handle on it than most of the others.

Meh, I don't really care about the affairs other than what they would mean for his election chances. Would be funny though to see the left make a big deal of it after the Clinton reaction.

Newt's definitely the smartest and best policy guy in the bunch and I'd love to see him debate Obama but he ain't going to be the nominee.

He and we'd be better off if he dropped out and offered to be a policy guru for whoever wins the nomination.

Newt is toast, to be polite about it.

He will never be the POTUS, not even close.

I have no idea why he is even running.

Agree... I think he could probably land a seat on someone's staff.
