Gee...what timing. Newt announced he was running for President almost a year ago, yet ex-wife #2 waits until the eve of the South Carolina primary to decry his lack of moral character. Why not sit down with the WaPo before Iowa or New Hampshire? Well, Mitt’s Super PAC did the dirty work in the Hawkeye State and there isn’t much of an evangelical voter bloc in New Hampshire.
So the former Mrs. Gingrich grants her interviews before a primary where Newt is surging and the evangelical vote is critical. Wonder what sort of “arrangements” were made to get her to speak up at such an opportune moment (for her, the media, and a certain former governor of Massachusetts).
This would be a good time for Paul to get out. He would become a party hero because we might be able to see where his voters are going....besides hell.
We all knew SC would be Newts best shot. If he did well, and he usually does, in the debates, they’d need something to knock him back.
IIRC this interview was taped before the debates, then probably shelved, ‘in case’.
What will be more telling is how widespread this story is today with the talking heads. They sure waited on the Bain to see if it got any traction first.
