Swinger of the House, Newt May Face Problems

Newt Gingrich's ex-wife (his second at that time) has come out with a scandalous ABC News interview, claiming that he wanted an open marriage.

Now this blogger hasn't seen any more of the video than his humble readers, but if the clip that they showed is any indication, ABC may be holding a hammer over Gingrich's presidential coffin nails. There will certainly be some follow up to this piece.

Without personally passing judgement on Ol' Newt, he will really face a lot of scowls from his hard socially conservative base. Marianne Gingrich's comments echo out from even the 2010 Gingrich Campaign.Some of these facts aren't new to American voters. They knew that he had a couple old marriages before he met his darling Callista. They knew that those marriages did not end well.

But with the suspension of Herman Cain's campaign over similar female issues of his own, will Gingrich take the hit and continue his neck and neck race with Mitt or will this signal the curtain for Newt's bid to the Presidency? We will certainly keep you updated. I'm just 1 conservative who is very interested in the twists and turns of this new race.

VA GOP Says No Oath/Primary Still a Sham

The Virginia GOP made the very wise decision of rescinding their previous plans to require a "Loyalty Oath" to vote in the Virginia Primary. The primary itself is likely to be a bit of a sham already, seeing as only 2 of the Republican hopefuls made it on the ballot. When Virginians go to the polls their choice will be between Texas Representative Ron Paul, or Mass Governor Mitt Romney(This sites prediction for the ultimate winning of the nomination).

Where are Perry, Santorum, and Gingrich you may ask? They did not meet the requirements set forth in Virginia law to be on the ballot. This is particularly embarrassing for Newt who is a resident of McLean, VIRGINIA and won't even make it on the ballot for a clear battleground state.

"These are very powerful people", you might say. "They can surely get around this", you might say. Well they have tried. Newt has been knocked down by both state and federal judges, as has Perry. Santorum has quietly allowed the primary to pass uncontested as far as this blogger knows.

With only Mitt and Ron on the ballot, the race becomes a lot more muddled, and may keep the Texas Tea Partier in the conversation as more and more states cement their tickets. It will surely be an interesting time.
