if you mean unfaithful to their spouses, Newt certainly qualifies.
Mitt, I have heard nothing of that. He and his wife have been married for 40+ years.
Sorry, I did not mean love life but how they got to their political career. They both did some bribing in the way to be where they are.
But you are right on personal life, Newt cheated on his wife two times. Newt will suffer for sleeping with other women.

Gingrich will close in a little after the Southern States primaries in May or June ...that's when your home state of Kentucky will vote, MH ?
What's the difference between The Florida Primary and The Nevada Caucuses if any ?...is it just semantics ?

Yea, I've always hated the way they do the primary voting, with it spread out like it is.
States are voting from Jan to June
By the time Apr-Jun gets here it has already been decided, leading to a low vote turnout in those states.
A primary is actual voting.
A caucus is always a lower turnout.
People meet at designated sites and have to listen to speeches from supporters of each candidate.
A long drawn out process, which most voters pass on.
Then they have secret meetings amongst themselves to decide where to put their support.
Only a few states have them.

Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are at war and that is only helpful for President Obama. If I am a Republican, I would tell these two candidates to tone it down because Obama can use this conflict to prove how bad Republicans can be.

Gee, all that conventional wisdom. The fact that you have presented what is conventionally held by most ill informed people marks you out as not a deep thinker. Nothing will turn out as you predict. Nostradamus you are not. Turn off the computer, get off the internet and read something that will broaden your mind. You might start with Plato. The world is not really a conspiracy mill.
