So true, it was worth repeating!
I was very rebellious today--just sent my 7th donation to Newt.
Newt to Tampa! Romney to Golub!
Newt's personal life had nothing to do with it. Evangelicals are supporting the man with the best chances of beating Obama. This man was never going to be Newt Gingrich. He chose not to take running for president seriously. Mitt Romney did.
I haven’t met, read, or heard of any evangelical or right-to-lifer who was specifically supporting Romney because they rejected Gingrich over his affairs. The “affair” people were mostly supporting Santorum, or Perry.
BAM!
Check my posting history... I've spent a fair amount of time since Santorums withdrawal by writing on Christian principles in voting, and a key issue for me is that I believe it's important to cite chapter-and-verse why an evangelical can vote for Newt Gingrich in good conscience.
Here are some examples:

I'm not very happy about backing a person with Gingrich's background, but I will vote for a repentant adulterer before I'll vote for a baby-killer who doesn't appear to have seriously repented of his wickedness.
It really is that simple.
