From what I recall, Newt resigned in 1998 after the Republicans, under his direction, lost a number of seats even though Newt had assured the GOP caucus that, if they went hard on the Lewinsky-Impeachment thing, the GOP would win seats.

You recall incorrectly! He had just won reelection. The MSM revealed that he had an affair with his assistant. They fell in love over breakfast every morning. He was leaving Marianne. Then he bolted from Congress apparently in shame.

He was my Congressman and I remember all of Cobb County was left in shock! Dems had a field-day. I had to develop a look to shut down their taunts.

Am I still bitter? A little I guess.

But I would still vote for him again if he told me he would stand up to the Dems at any cost this time!

Hmmmm, interesting when you describe it that way, I'm left to wonder if perhaps he was both in love as well as embarassed at the same time.... it's not an uncommon emotion. I'm old enough to recognize that sometimes people have no control over who or when they fall in love and I'm not going to judge him on that, rather on how well suited I think he may be to run this nation in a very trying time.

Please provide me with a link to a MAINSTREAM MEDIA source detailing Gingrich's adulterous affair with his assistant.

Not a left wing blog site --- a MSM site, please.

If you cant find one, then you're just pissing in the wind like all the other Gingrich haters.
