Wishful thinking. This is the woman he was cheating on his first wife with. The man's not faithful. Period. He can't be trusted. Not by his wives, his party or conservatives. He's jumped on every big state solution to every so called problem there is. What a fuster cluck this election is.

Well said. The same "conservatives" here who get on their moral high-horse whenever most politicians get caught with feet of clay will excuse Gingrich. Yet Gingrich is the worst candidate we have running precisely for the reasons you say. Politically, although he's generally conservative, he's all over the place on many issues. There's a real lack of character in this man, as much as I mostly agree with his politics.

Aside from that, I can't see how Gingrich wins the election if he gets the nomination. Not only has he made a lot of enemies in his own party, but moderates and independents will turn away from him in droves. There's a snooty lecturing quality to the way Gingrich speaks that, after awhile, is very grating. Obama is likely to win in a landslide. From my perspective, once again the Right is throwing an election.

There's just no way that Newt brings along independents and conservative leaning democrats. No way. He's even more polorizing to those people than obama is to us. And not only that but he dosen't wear well for long with conserrvatives either. We're making a huge mistake if we let him be our standard bearer.

Santorum's not perfect but he's a damned sight better than the current alternatives.
