Santorum is done after last nite. It’s going to be Newt or Romney.
The Newt fidelity issues will matter. Thats what everyone was talking about today at work. Not the debates, or the issues.
It’s really too bad, as we need to focus all energy on Obama.
I suppose it might be an issue in the general. Just not a pivotal one. Conservatives tend to be more judgmental in fidelity issues. Considering the percentage of divorces out there, I find it hard to believe there would be a high negative effect.
Listening to the post-debate on CNN last night, particularly Borger and Brazile’s comments, clearly the Dems are hoping to gain from Newt’s “infidelities.” IMO, they’re going to be seriously disappointed. These people worked overtime during the Lewinsky scandal to desensitize us to these affairs — “it’s just sex,” “what people do in their private lives is none of our business” — and they are bound to be dismayed when their attempt to capitalize on Newt’s affairs is met with one collective “Who cares?” from the American people. Sad commentary on our society, but poetic justice all the same.
