Yes, adultery is all about feelings, isn’t it?
But it is also a forgivable sin, as Newt's supporters have so often pointed out. My problem is that he is a serial adulterer and I won't pooh-pooh the feelings of women who see him in even worse light. That's why I don't see him as electable despite his fine mind, great ideas and superb debate and presentation skills. Feelings matter.
As I've said before, he could best serve the country by being Rick Santorum's speech writer, idea man and debate coach. Rick is not the polished presenter which Newt is. But nobody ever has to wonder whether he might be a walking bimbo eruption.
