Oh who cares about the debate anyway. What Newt really needed to do was promise not to cheat on his wife, if he was elected. He did that, and I’m so proud of him. Isn’t everyone?
Oh wait, weren’t his wedding vows a promise too?
Oh well, let’s not dwell on that...
Looks like Newt is mainstream.

King David not only committed adultery, but even arranged the murder of his lover's lawful husband. What ultimately mattered was that David repented when he was confronted by Nathan, and God allowed David to continue his successful reign.
Newt Gingrich has acknowledged his past adulteries and says that he has sought forgiveness from God. Whether one chooses to believe him or not, I would be careful not to speak for God concerning a matter that He might already have put to rest. The same would have been true of Bill Clinton if he had acknowledged and repented, but he sadly did not.
On a more practical level, the Democrats might not even need to lift a finger next fall if Republicans continue to destroy each other before the real battle begins. The GOP is the party of winning ideas, but too many Republicans would rather destroy their allies than to defeat their real opponents.

Vows are vows; and they can be as easily broken w/o an 'affair'.
Would offer that without children to impact; a family to consider - and should we count the 'silent' ways; marriage vows can be broken within a marriage sans divorce - that it is perhaps the 'wiser' at this point; to take a higher road per making judgments about Newt's decisions and perhaps his wife's/or wives as well and as the case may be.
Whatever. . .
And now we must vote for him, for the sake of his wife and marriage.
