I agree Clinton is a pig but Gingrich's past was too much for many to accept. Hopefully that lesson was learned from Clinton. His escapades were fairly well known but there were attempts to hide them. I think he fancies himself as a Kennedy!
Seriously though, there are so many issues with the Gingrich's and I can't imagine Calista as a first lady. We've had this kind of embarrassment in the white house and I don't think we need to embrace and excuse this kind of behavior. I don't think this explains his total inability to gain traction with the public. I think it's a combination of factors but mostly that he might have 'big ideas' but lacks on execution. We've had that in the white house too!
Anne Romney is a very great woman who has stayed married, raised a family, is battling two major diseases, and other than the crime of being wealthy, is scandal free. She defines rich as being related to loved ones, family and friends and so doesn't consider herself unusually wealthy. And at least she doesn't wear $500 shoes to a food bank!
Jeez, my gf has a $2000 handbag, $650 Prada shoes and on and on - and she isn't even in my retiree income bracket. I personally like the word 'daft' when it come to what women spend on clothing. I think it's a waste of money. And the thing is, these items don't even look as expensive as they are. Maybe she should go into politics?
