Character and morality matters. If a democrat had done what Newt did (actually we have several to choose from), would those on here supporting Newt, support the democrat cheater? I doubt it.
What is the public perception of the Newt/affair story going to be in the next few days?
1. He’s a serial cheater, who wanted a open marriage, and had a 6 year affair in his wifes bed.
2. Newts debate response was so good, we are going to ignore the whole thing?
Same thing happened with Palin. After the I can see Russia from my house story broke, she was painted as an idiot. We all knew what she was really trying to say. And we know she is far from stupid. But what did the public meme become around Sarah?
I hate the MSM and what ABC is doing 35 hours before the debate. But if you think this won’t negatively impact Newt, you have some strong rose colored glasses on. I’d love to see Newt become president. But he has was too much personal and policy baggage. He will be destroyed by Obama and the media in the fall. Mitt may get destroyed also. And if so, we are stuck with Obama 4 more years. And the country as we know it , is at risk.
I don’t think anyone cares about Newt’s former private life. If they don’t care in the primary, they certainly won’t care in the general.
Palin never said she could see Russia from her house.
That was a line by Tina Fay, portraying Sarah on SNL.
Good Lord! Sarah Palin never uttered those words. That was Tina Fey on SNL.
Palin didn’t say that. Where have you been?
Palin story = FAIL, try SNL (Tina Fey)

" I don't support Newt because of his cheating. I support Newt because of his proposals for change, and his past record of achievement for conservative policies when in Congress.
Any nominee is going to have the media go after him tooth and nail. Which candidate has so far been able to put the media on the defensive?
Some evangelical women may have a problem with his cheating that renders his real qualifications moot to them, but maybe some of those women who are democrats turned independents will not be so picky.
