So Newt gets a pass just because it's old news?
All that plus his bashing the last couple of weeks of venture capitalists has really been turning me off. So much so I was on the way to becoming a Romney supporter. I started reading up on Romney to see why not Mitt over a scumbag like Newt. Then I ran across an article where Romney had supported the Boy Scouts being forced to let gays serve as scout leaders among other items that made my stomach churn.
I think this is the worst choice I've ever had in the way of who to vote for. I've tried to get enthused and behind somebody but honestly I don't like anybody running this year. In the end I'll vote for the republican nominee who ever it may be but it will not be enthusiastically. Blech!

AmPat nailed it, basically Newt's were yesterday's news and Cain's were a revelation. It's not the infidelity that gave Newt the bump, it's the way he handled it. He for instance did not say 'She's batshit crazy, let me tell you what really went down,' instead he reamed the press for wasting the debate clock on it and then simply said that wasn't what happened as he saw it but he wasn't going to fling poo either.
I am hungry for someone who will get in the opposition's face, especially after the fiasco of a campaign McLame put on, and I do not have any confidence in Mitt being able to do that, with his old-boy air and penchant for letting others do the wet work so he can keep his hands clean.
Mitt's abysmal NRA rating is also an issue for me.

No where in my post did I suggest Newt getting a pass. Let me be clear------------------
I don't like Newt as our best foot forward. I like Romney less. But I detest the Marxist Usurper much more.
I was trying to explain why Newt's lifestyle isn't given the same treatment as Cain's.Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.

My sister, who is more liberal than I am in many ways, says "At least Newt isn't stupid", meaning that she thinks he's the smartest republican in the race.
