Riddle me this…

South Carolina primary voters give Newt Gingrich a win.  This is the man that has been married three times and had two affairs.  Did they forget about their own disgraced governor, Mark Sanford, who had an affair and made the state officials and its citizens embarrassed by his actions?  I didn’t watch the Nightline interview with Gingrich’s ex-wife #2.  I didn’t have to. It was all over the news before it ran.  She was not sad, but angry.  Did this style hurt her and help him?  People don’t like revengeful women, well unless you watch the popular ABC show, Revenge, but other than that women are not to complain.  I do wonder why Marianne Gingrich would be surprised that her then husband was having an affair.  He had an affair with her while married to his 1st wife, his high school geometry teacher and 7 years older than him. Isn’t there a saying that goes once a cheater, always a cheater?  I do know one thing and that is Newt Gingrich should be sending Nightline and Marianne Gingrich roses.  They certainly deserve a thank you for his win on Saturday night.  Gingrich is explosive. He is  a good debater. He knows his stuff. He was a history professor after all.  After winning South Carolina he is flying high to Florida.  It certainly keeps us news junkies yammering for more.  Ultimately it comes down to one thing, who can beat Obama?  Right now, I honestly don’t know.  Will it be Gingrich with his in your face style and two brainwashed daughters? Romney with his I know business and I can get this country moving again but don’t ask me about how I make my money because I don’t know? Santorum, who even for me is too conservative, who plans to stay in right to the bitter end? Or Ron Paul who has nothing better to do then run for president?   If I had to bet, I might place money on all four.  This is going to be one heck of a ride.

  1. I’m with you! I find it hard to believe that people are just disregarding Gingrich’s ‘history’. I sort of think we deserve what we get if, as a nation, we can’t discern any better than that. ;)I’ve never really thought Romney could win the nomination, because of the South and the anti-Mormon vote, though I don’t know that a former Stake President couldn’t do a better job than the rest of the pack running… I have to admit to a morbid curiosity about what would happen with a Ron Paul presidency! ;P

  2. I have been wondering the same things. Ron Paul wants to legalize many illegal drugs and the very young seem to think this is the thing to do. I do not! On the editorial page of the Oklahoman this morning was a picture of Obama with HOPE at the bottom then the cartoon Obama was writing I hope Gingrich gets the nomination!! We as a country cannot afford 4 more years of Obama.
