I sincerely doubt the baggage they have on Gingrich will be fatal. That stuff’s been out there for years and is well known, but Gingrich is still soaring in the polls, especially among tea party and conservative Republicans. The ethics charges against him didn’t pan out for the dems. That was just a nasty (and losing) partisan political attack. his marriages aren’t going to matter in this age of Obama. Hopefully, he’ll be able to smooth over his global warming missteps. If they succeed in bringing him down, we’re soon running out of options. No way am I going to support Romney.
Bachmann, Santorum, Perry? So far no go. And Paul can KMA!
But we know Gingrich is a serial philanderer, don’t we? And we know the demrats probably have stuff they dug up in the original ethics investigation and/or they’ll make it up. Truth isn’t important. Only planting the “where there’s smoke there’s fire seed”.
I believe the demrat game plan includes at least two strategies:
1. Destroy all Pubbie/conservative candidates in detail (military term for one after the other) so there is no one to run against Onada.
2. Not succeeding in that, the demrats next best hope is to make sure who ever runs on the Pubbie ticket is owned by them—one way or the other. As I have said, I believe they own Gingrich. These demrat attacks on Newt are strictly theater. Their express purpose is to fool sufficient numbers of conservatives into voting for him.
