I’ve posted this before. Several conservative, evangelical friends of mine have stated flat out that they could not vote for Newt due to his past morality and would sit out this election. That was before this latest rehash from ABC.

Are they not familiar with asking for God's forgiveness? Not all Christians understand this concept, so maybe they aren't familiar with it.

I'm not a fan of divorced folks or affairs, but if somebody publicly admits their mistakes, repents, and asks for God's forgiveness, I can accept that.

I'm not Catholic, but not going to hold it against Newt either since I don't have a problem with Catholics or Catholicism.

I certainly understand asking for God’s foregiveness (in addition to my wife’s!).

But Newt appears to be a serial adulterer.

If there is a candidate without such baggage, then go for that candidate. Santorum appears to be the best of the bunch (although I know that isn’t necessarily saying much!)

While not as quick as a debater as Newt, Santorum has acquitted himself well during the recent debates and gave a fantastic speech the night of the Iowa caucuses which reminded me of Reagan (who I had the fortune of hearing in person at a campaign rally in North Carolina)
