"I am a little surprised by all the surprise over the revelations about Newt's bad boy behavior. (Fox News is acting like its really news!). The divorce pleadings from wife number two were on Raw Story and some of the other webs sites years ago claiming adultery and naming the other woman. Newt did not contest the claims...and when Newt married the "aide" (NOT to be confused with an intern), their affair seemed like the worst kept secret in D.C." FOX may be adopting the tactic of acting 'surprised'... but --- judging STRICTLY by Newt's very HIGH negatives in the most recent polls, (negative numbers so very high that I was quite surprised by them... something like 49% of the public reporting that they would "never" vote for him under "any" circumstances, higher negatives then even Hillary) --- it DOESN'T SEEM that the public is likely to be surprised by any of this. Likely at least some part of his negative numbers stems from exactly this type of thing (hypocrisy... running around on his wives with much younger women, etc.)
