The only way Newt could become a nationally elected leader

I disagree. The idea that the only people we elect to office must have spotless backgrounds was thrown into the scrap heep long ago.

If we can elect someone with a radical past like Obama and someone with a criminal past like Clinton then we can elect someone with personal foibles in his past like Newt.

I know almost nothing of Newts relationship with his ex-wife, but I'm not going to let that negate the fact that IMO Newt might be a good President. She could have been a living nightmare for all I know.... besides, is there some rule or law somewhere (anywhere) that disallows divorce with a cancer patient? Who knows, she may have wanted a divorce as much as he......
