How will the details revealed by Marianne Gingrich regarding her former husband’s personal life – and Newt Gingrich’s defiant response – play out among the GOP presidential primary electorate?
But it’s worth keeping in mind that even before Marianne Gingrich went public, Newt Gingrich was already facing tough odds when it comes to his support among women nationally — a factor that underscores the argument made by his GOP rivals against his electability in the fall.
There typically tends to be a gender gap in presidential general elections, as women vote more Democratic than men.
But a CNN/Time/Opinion Research survey conducted Jan. 11-12 showed that among national adults, Gingrich faces the biggest gender gap of all the GOP contenders.
If the general election had been held in mid-January – before news of the Marianne Gingrich interviews had broken -- the CNN survey shows President Obama would have taken 54 percent to Gingrich’s 41 percent. Among only men, that gap narrows to a six-percentage point difference: 49 percent for Obama and 43 percent to Gingrich.
But among women, it widens to 18 points: 58 percent for Obama and 40 percent for Gingrich.

I saw a freeper threatened with a zot yesterday who was great at reporting from on the ground on the unionista standoff against Gov. Walker in Madison WI. Baby, meet bathwater.....
Sorry, but I almost have to wonder if someone hacked one of the mods accounts. I checked past posts and I see zero evidence this poster is a troll. 2nd one today that seemed to be a good Freeper, frequent poster, I’m scared to post anymore. Maybe I will just lurk until the elections are over.
On what basis was that zot threat given?
You want to talk about hypocrisy? Newt at least has done a mea culpa on the individual mandate. Romney? He remains unrepentant about RomneyCare, but claims he’ll work to repeal ObamaCare, which is nothing more than RomneyCare at the federal level. LMAO!
Cinch up your armor, buddy. This is another hit piece by some illegal affirmative action whore at the neo-Nazi Washington Post.
Nobody reads this crap except traitors in the Rat party and union pigs you call with a shout of SEIU.
What this 30 IQ ferret writes doesn’t mean squat.
I also checked it, many pages into the posting history and I didn’t see anything that pointed to troll or liberal. This poster did the Islamic ping list. Color me puzzled.
I’m with you....I can’t see why this poster was zotted.
Newt’s second wife, Marianne, was ‘dating’ a married man when she met him.
Seems ‘home wrecking’ isn’t foreign to her.
Not saying Newt was a saint in this, but she’s on really shaky ground.
_______________________
I agree and I wonder how much Axelrod and company paid her..... or Romney and company.
I guess it doesn't matter. Even though FR was virilently against Gingrich a short time ago after his Dede gaffe, today you can get zotted for speaking against the new "Dear Leader Newt".
Go figure.
Not so for the 'ex' of John Edwards. He had a child with his mistress while running for dem President. He was cheating on his wife who REALLY was dying of cancer. She died of cancer. That was real. Newt's ex's are alive - kicking and screaming.... none of them have died of anything.
Oh - and the 'press' knew about John Edwards - knew his wife was REALLY dying, knew he was having an affair, knew the rumor about the child and DID NOT CARE. Did not ask - did not cover it until a picture surfaced of the child.
“From what I have heard, and he is an amazing source, Hillary will be the vp pick and the announcement is coming very soon.”
Oh dear God. Please let that be a miscommunication. That would be awful. We will have difficulty with woman with Newt as it is and now with Hillary it is impossible to get the woman back. Maybe it won’t happen. Joe Biden may not go with it.
I think Michele should run for the Senate seat or even possibly governor. She is still a good person.
All you do is trash Newt. Anyone can look at your posting history and see it.
After looking at your posting history, I only found one mild criticism of obuma and none of Romney.
You carry the stink of an agent provocateur from DU.
Get lost.
She can’t lead, has never accomplished anything in the Congress or state house, she just talks well on camera or on stage, she isn’t going to the Senate or Governorship, I just hope she doesn’t mess with us anymore like she has to date with her shadowing Romney and introducing Ed Rollins.
If either of you have any influence with the higher-ups, I think a lot of us would like to see the Paultards get a righteous and well-deserved zot. His remarks in a recent debate advocating the application of the Golden Rule with our enemies is the worst kind of leftism, bordering on being a traitor. Paul's stance is certainly not Conservative. Unchallenged military might is a sine qua non for securing our precious freedoms and God-given liberties. Paul can babble away about a limited government all he wants but with a weakened military, there's no nation left.
I'm heartened that Free Republic supports the Bush Doctrine of preemptive military force against those agents of evil bent on destroying America. The proper way to deal with our enemies is simple and requires unyielding, unapologetic force:
I can't stand Obama. And I have made many negative comments in the past about Romney.
However, the last few days since the topic of the womanizing has gotten full attention I have stepped up criticism of Newt. This is all the history you're looking at.
It wasn't so long ago that Newt was bashed fairly regularly on FR. I haven't changed my opinion of him since then. Many others have in recent days. So what?
“Newt’s ex’s are alive - kicking and screaming.... none of them have died of anything.”
Did I say that anyone involved with New died?
And, I don’t think I mentioned anything about John Edwards.
Instead, I simply stated that the false charges against Newt are easily explained as again, they are all lies.
Here’s one conservative woman who won’t vote for him. I’m sure there are others.
Frankly, the guy comes across in debate after debate as an angry old sourpuss with a chip on his shoulder. Presidents have to have some likeability if they’re to convince voters to support their agenda and to tune in when they speak to the nation. Gingrich has none.
Well it appears that you find her more repulsive than even Nancy Pelosi. I don’t find her bad at all. The one thing I know deep down is that Obamacare if nothing else would be gone the moment she would have been in the Presidency. Now I am not so sure. The other candidates don’t seem to have that same passion about getting rid of it. If it is not gone by January 2014, we are stuck with it forever.
