A Question We Will Never Know the Answer To

What if Marianne Gingrich had talked to Sean Hannity? Would Newt Gingrich have won tonight?

Probably.

How about this question: Mitt lost South Carolina because he is a Mormon? External Link  So Evangelicals picked Newt (who is a protestant who converted to Roman Catholic) over a Mormon? Call me a skeptic on this claim. I think there was a tad more to voter decision making than that.

I doubt Hannity would have paid her what she wanted.

She's made her money more honestly than her ex-husband, I suspect.

If Grandma had wheels, she'd be a bicycle.

I would like to observe, that on the main page of The Corner for each post there is a hotlink to comments.

It is damned annoying and irritating to click on comments, and not get comments, but, instead, to have to go click on comments or expand again.

Hannity would never have had her own the show. He's only against adultery when it is committed by Democrats.

Hannity would have never done it. He's in the bag for Gingrich.

Thank heavens for small favors this political season that we *may* now have heard the last of angry ex-spouses, former girlfriends and/or boyfriends, breach-of-promise suits, angry disillusioned former pets, gifts of jewelry, unpaid auto repair workshop bills, etc.

By the way, Ms. Lopez, my granddaughter, a young version of a Girl Scout (I forget the name for those) wears sweater vests. They look nice and have little badges on them. So Santorums of both genders - go for it. Add merit badges, if desired. It'll be cute.

Why do I get the feeling you were singing a different tune circa 1992-2000?

For some conservatives, marital fidelity means everything right up until the time that it doesn't - and of course that time is when it's politically expedient to ignore lecherous behavior.

Gingrich's x-wife hates him. If that's news, then you should publish articles about how the earth orbits around the sun or how water is wet.

Newt won because the MSM underestimated just how much Republicans distrust them. No other reason.

What the election in SC tells us is that Republicans despise the MSM more than they despise cheaters. They are willing to forgive most anything if they believe a candidate has been treated unfairly, or held to a different standard than Democrat politicians.

Look at Cain. There was definitely fire where that smoke was brewing, but Republicans were willing to believe he was being "set up" because they distrust the MSM so much. At this point, if the MSM said it was raining outside, Republicans would go check to make sure. And then still question if the wetness on the ground actually came from the sky.

That's how much they distrust the MSM. And unfortunately, it just might get us the guy who cheated on two wives, married his mistress, has a track record of supporting big government policies, ethics violations that forced him to resign, and a whole host of other issues. I'm not a fan of Romney (I liked Perry but he couldn't seem to get it together), but he is more electable in the general than Newt. The majority of Americans actually believe the propaganda the MSM dishes out. And Newt will lose and will lose big.

Republicans are allowing their disgust of the MSM to cloud their judgement.
