Sounds like my kid when she makes a circular argument about how she ate all the chocolate because leaving it around would have just drawn her into temptation.

I'll hand it to him. Everything he says sounds like a whole heap of thinking went into it. That as thick must have gone over well in a backwaTerri college professorship.

Conservative here: fortunately, Newt has been safely eliminated from contention. See, the process works. Despite the obvious ignorance and stupidity of Republican primary voters--right?--they have selected a nominee who is indisputably (1) competent and (2) the most likely to beat Obama. As an aside, Newt is a mensch compared to the odious and despicable John Edwards, so I wouldn't talk too much trash if I were you.

Although I generally don't feel it's worth determining which sleazy politician is sleazier, since you raise the comparison, doesn't Newt match Edwards in the Cheat-on-your-wife-even-when-she-has-cancer competition and outdo him in most others?

I'll concede it is a dead heat on marital hijinks. I'm not sure what you are talking about on other issues, so can't meaningfully respond. Probably not worth getting into, it's likely like arguing about whether Spiderman could beat Batman in a fight. Consider the comment retracted.

Please there were only two guys running...Mitt and Ron. The others could not even get on the ballot in all states. Mitt is not the best candidate. He just has the organization and money and was able to scare off a lot of candidates. Mitt is a lot like Obama. When you switch presidents, u don't do it for the same type of guy. Your other point, Newt's moral problems did not hurt him with the primary voters.

Oh come on, it's ridiculous to try to rank those two as to which is more despicable. Okay, I'll give Newt some credit - he knew enough to wear a condom! But that's all.

Uh Gingrich was pretty much a lobbyist.
