JIMROB: I am on board with this. Had some leaning toward Cain until he blew up, and have been rooting for Newt ever since. If that Jim Thompson guy will toss out an endorsement, maybe we’ll get some media coverage.
As for women’s votes: Clinton never lost his popularity with women, and he was (IMHO) much, much worse as to his indiscretions. Women are very concerned with the economic future of this country, and the tax burdens that will be placed on our children and grandchildren due to the debts and deficits. Newt will appeal to their need to know that someone will (finally) be looking out for the future.
But, there’s a “political double standard” when it comes to the troubles of Democrats and the troubles of Republicans. Democrats, assiduously, get away with their problems, while Republicans, assiduously, don’t get away with their problems. This political double standard pattern is several decades old and continuing, with no end in sight.
