Newt Gingrich is a Repub...Shrinky - Long answer...<br /><br />Newt Gingrich is a Republican candidate for President and former Speaker of the House (at present, perhaps equal to leader of the opposition in the House of Commons?) As a Republican, akin to the Conservatives.<br /><br />He's a brilliant man, but mean and erratic. That is, he's a tremendous speaker and debater, communicates his message tremendously well, but is prone to saying stuff like "Our enemies? The best course of action is to kill them. Period."<br /><br />(Not a direct quote, but it captures the flavor.)<br /><br />The ex-wife had an interview with ABC News wherein she said that he proposed an "open" marriage, one where he could have a mistress or mistresses as well as her. Since he espouses "family values", such as an anti-homosexual and traditional marriage agenda, this would make him guilty of gross hypocrisy. Whether it's the truth is unknown at present. His daughters are on his side, and have made statements disowning the ex-wife's claims. He is also currently married for the third time, and has converted to Catholicism somewhat recently, so that's more to take into account.<br /><br />Of the (now) four remaining candidates for the Republican nomination, he is currently last in delegates won via previous preliminaries, but has taken the lead in some polls conducted concerning the next up, which is South Carolina, seen by some as a very important battleground. If he wins South Carolina, he may be seen as the current strongest candidate for the overall win to challenge Obama come November.<br /><br />That's enough, probably, but if you want to know more, I'd suggest...<br /><br />http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/primaries/scorecard/statebystate/r<br /><br />(For what it's worth, I'm a supporter of Ron Paul.)Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-87161797523393317482012-01-20T09:12:21.542-05:002012-01-20T09:12:21.542-05:00We don't have Jeopardy over here, so you'd...We don't have Jeopardy over here, so you'd best send me the video link if you actually do appear on it - I wouldn't want to miss that for the world!

Although that's a nice shot you took at the American radio, TV, and press. Maybe we should all start following what's going on at Al Jazeera and reading The Economist? The American has a hard time getting the story right because they don't stick around long enough to get more than headlines.<br /><br />So anyway it's better that you let us know you won a really nice picture of a seascape or whatever that is and that you won't know if your "In Jeopardy" until they call you and tell you. Good luck with that. I probably won't see it because that's when "News Hour" is on.IT (aka Ivan Toblog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07484236901066944983noreply@blogger.com
