Oh, please. Gingrich was a huge hit with Dobson's crowd and the "Christian
Conservative" vote will fall right in to line behind.

Now, a relative lack of enthusiasm for Gingrich may reduce the size of the
vote that Dobson delivers but that's the way those voters will go.

My son pointed out to me, some years ago, before I thought about it, that
one of the most unsavory aspects of certain Christian's worldview is the
political impact of getting "saved," as it wipes out past sins in the eyes
of the voters. Gingrich's play here is to be Born-Again again and it will
probably work well for him.

What's really happening is that Gingrich is playing the Christian
Conservative crowd for suckers.

Face facts, the man is scum. He dumped his first wife when she had cancer,
he cheated on his second wife while he's sitting in judgement on someone
else for cheating on his wife and he got his own BJ's so that he could
exploit a narrow definition of "sex" in his own mind and say "I did not have
sex with that woman."
