I don't see Newt doing well in Idaho. Mitt has a chance with all the Mormons in the state. Think, once Mitt leaves Florida and starts moving west, he'll find people more welcoming of his religion.
In my travels around the state, I see more Ron Paul signs, than any other.
Newt, as one poster said, has a lot more than his failed marriages, he was in bed with Freddie & Fannie, this shouldn't be taken lightly.
I agree, 3-Shepherds.
Mitt will definitely be Idaho's guy. I believe he will also do very well all over the west. I think he will also do very well in Arkansas, Missouri, and some other mid-west states as well.
Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Montana, California, Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon all have a lot of Mormons, and Mitt has been their choice over Huntsman since the first. More importantly, Mitt is more in line with the west's general conservatism than Newt or Paul. Santorum, if he lasts that long, will get no traction out here.
Ron Paul got a lot of attention in S. Idaho in 2008, but I haven't seen any of his signs this year. In '08, the Paul signs were out very early. Between Paul and Romney, I think Romney is going to get almost all of the folks down here who wanted Paul in '08.
Mitt is to the Mormons as John Kennedy was to the Catholics. It was once thought to be impossible for a Catholic to be elected as President, and Kennedy was a wealthy, good-looking, and popular. Mitt shares those qualities. The Mormons, just like the Catholics, now yearn for the same political legitimacy that an elected President brings to their religion.
Why does Gingrich's history of adultery even matter? ..............
Because Newt slammed Clinton for doing less than he has done...... Newt spouts family values when he has none............... Newt uses god's forgiveness as a get out of jail free card for anything he does wrong....... he'll probably seek god's forgiveness when he screws America up too......... Newt is a hypocrite........... Newt has been proved to be unethical............ Newt is for Newt before Country....... Newt is a Bigot............. Newt doesn't care who he scr*ws as long as he gets what he wants....................
How's that for starters as to why we should worry about Newt's character....... Not just Adultery but a complete scumbag too.
There Democrats,they dont run on family values.
you cant run on christian values and be anti-gay marriage and cheat
on your wife,and expect not to get blasted for it.
Democrats are secularist, so as long as they dont do anything illegal
it really doesnt matter, if republicans dont want to be judged on there personal lives, stop talking about gays and christianity
Because Americans are walking contradictions.... they insist they don't care about what goes on in other peoples bedrooms.... but then turn around and gossip constantly about the latest tabloid about..... what is going on in someones bedroom

I think it's partly because it started looking like Romney was sure to get the nomination and the evangelicals didn't like the idea of a Mormon being the nominee, so they became desperate and decided to rally around a Catholic (I know...it makes no sense).
The other part of it I think is that Newt is so good at talking a big talk and riling up the base that they simply don't care.
Herman Cain was basically ran off over alleged indiscretions but Newt is given a pass when his dirt is documented...
What's the difference???
I've wondered the same thing. To be fair Cain himself decided to withdraw, but he did it once he realized he was losing support. Newt on the other hand has gained support after the allegations arose.
