As for the 'unnamed'; don't hold much to rumors. As for sleeping with a married man; yep; it happens; they did make it legal, however; and there were no children and so family to impact. And, who knows; perhaps, no real marriage to break up.
Personally, do not care about Newt's personal past. (He has settled down; and has found a religion to call his own.) OTOH; do desperately care, about America's future; and want the 'best minds' on the job; speaking authentically and acting on America's behalf.
Sorry, but I think of Perry as a man who 'approves of this message' rather than writing it; himself.
(that was supposed to read re Newts ‘personals’: ‘no children and so NO family to impact. . .)
