Wife issue with Daniels seems like a party booster with the Conservative crowd. He entered into the "sacred" bonds of marriage, and showed devotion to same woman after she "made a mistake."
Hell, if he gets in the mix, Newt should just leave. Immediately. No love of country is going to overshadow that, for the religious right.
Whether he can sell it to the young crowd, who may think he lacks a bit of spine... well... I'm sure he can swoop up the 20 something coeds.
