I now support Newt and have since Perry collapsed but I never expected it. He has simply prevailed ..warts and all.

I've given Gingrich the vast majority of victories in the debates. He is a skilled orator. But abandoning Cain because he is *alleged* to be a philanderer by disreputable sources only to support Gingrich who is a *known* philanderer with documented verification defies logic. I'd accept Gingrich for VP because he could show Cain the ropes and protect him from the Washington machine. But Gingrich is not a Tea Party advocate. He is not looking out for us.

Gingrich has admitted cheating on his second wife. he married his first wife as a teenager with her preggers and she was his teacher and 7 years older. That marriage was annulled.

The allegations against Cain are quite different.

If they have such dirt on Gingrich as has been accused of Cain...settlements, severance, quid pro quo, giving money to a mistress for years without telling wifey...all that and his notion that he did not recall at first even though it was proven he sure recalled in 2003 which caused him to change his tune pronto

sorry...not exactly the same

just for arguments sake if half the Cain stuff is true..in order of marital malfeasance I'd go Newt, Cain and Clinton in order of severity from least to worst with Newt a 1-2 and Cain a 3-5 and Clinton an 11

but don't fret, there is plenty to attack Newt over besides that comparison

and for some of it I don't have a defense and will concede....he has a long track record...a lot of good, some not so good and some I did not agree with at all

I am unaware of any politician I have ever agreed with all the time...not even Palin or Magnus or Helms etc....I even disagreed with Clarence Thomas once over cross lighting and Scalia a few times.

I have disagreed with Rush and Hannity and Savage a lot the past few weeks.

It happens.

I hate to break it to you but Cain is done and I am of the opinion it was self inflicted and not just over the women or the denials but some stumbles in debates and interviews too.
