Marianne dumps on Newt yielding what?

  So we learn that Marianne Gingrich, second wife of Newt, has entertained ABC News to spill forth all the bile she can spew from her 18 years of marriage to the Newt. 
  Of course, the last year she was married to him was 1999 and one wonders what new there is that she hasn't already said.
  Every time these things happen, you wonder how much lower politics can go. A friend recently said that the person who benefited most from Cain's withdrawal from the race was Newt. This made sense. If we were to find out this were true, would it make a difference? It certainly would be hypocritical, considering Newt's history with women.
  Marianne Gingrich has done this before. She's made it quite clear that she will control Newt's political aspirations if she has the opportunity.
  Today's NY Post:
In 1995, when Vanity Fair magazine asked Marianne what would happen if Newt ran for president, she boasted she could derail the bid with a single TV interview.
“He can’t do it without me,” she said.
“I told him if I’m not in agreement, fine, it’s easy.
“I just go on the air the next day, and I undermine everything . . . I don’t want him to be president, and I don’t think he should be.”
  Gee. I wonder why they divorced. 
  Of course, Newt says he'll fight back
  Who knows what this will yield.
  Everyone knows Newt Gingrich is a hot air balloon, perhaps ready to burst. He's highly intelligent and bombastic. In contrast, Mitt Romney seems like a statesman, quiet, bland and uninteresting.
  We get who we get. 
  It can't be worse than what we have now.
  We hear constantly that Barack Hussein Obama is such a popular president that he'll be impossible to beat, partly because of the threatened billion dollar campaign, partly because of the personal magnetism and mostly because of the Chicago thuggery that surrounds BO.
  In contrast, once BO is off script, things don't go so well. His approval rating stinks and whether unemployment sinks below 8% or not, it will still be high by November, much of it because of the onerous regulations and stranglehold this administration and congress has put on business.
  Newt's a bit scary. But he's also less malleable than Romney.
  Do we want that? Or is that why the Republican establishment prefers Romney?
  Will the Marianne dump hurt Newt? 
  Probably.
  How much?
  That will pretty much be up to the Republican voter to determine. 
  In this nation's crisis, the evangelical voter may be willing to overlook personal flaws and moral failings in a candidate, primarily because times are so desperate and people are pretty much fed up with scandal as political tool, race and class baiting.
