Oh thank God this is getting out now so we can all vote for Santorum....no ex-wives and numerous girlfriends out there. God really is answering my prayers in having Santorum as our nominee. Thank you God!!!!!

Yeah, no ex issue for Rick. His CURRENT wife is his problem.

The story about Karen S. is old news - I saw it well before Iowa - and it happened before she and Rick were together. If anything it makes Rick look all the better. I was able to both forgive her and straighten her out. This dirt on Newt was bound to come out sooner or later. If he can't handle it now he would handle it worse later. Better to try to deal with it while we still have backup plans available. Based on what was already known about the end of his second marriage any thinking Newt supporters should have anticipated this. However less-thinking Newt supporters, who didn't look further than the debates, or those supporting Newt as the anyone-but-Mitt candidate de jour may be shook by this.

Personally the new information on Newt that bothered me more today was the WSJ piece on his early academic career. I hadn't realized he'd been denied tenure, nor that with minimal experience he proposed himself as department head and even as college president. Obama will be impressed. Newt then described himself as a "futurist" - the Tofflers already had him hooked. And I was shocked to learn that our history professor really wanted to teach environmental studies. Gore will be impressed.

Tomorrow will be an interesting day. At 8:15 CST the Iowa GOP will announce their certified caucus results. What leaks there have been suggest Santorum will be crowned then winner, leaving Mitt only the winner of (one of) his home state(s). This season being the "boring" candidate may prove to be a good thing. If all the Democrats can find to attack are the issues we'll win.
