Actually, you bring up something I’ve pondered about. Women voters. And if Gingrich were the nominee, would they be all hunky-dory with the notion of Calista as First Lady, when the media decides to play up big her history as Newt’s mistress-on-the-side for several years during his second marriage? Some folks just dismiss all this as “old news” or minor, irrelevant stuff. Maybe. But I do know some pretty traditionalist, old-time GOP women voters who really aren’t going to be very warm to the whole idea.
You may be right. My problem with Calista is mainly aesthetic. She looks plasticized - and it’s a somewhat scary look to me.
It seems to me that First Ladies (with the exception of Laura Bush) have gotten weirder and weirder over the years.
