    In defense...of Newt

    By omekongo  |  Posted January 20, 2012  |  Washington, District of Columbia
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     omekongo doesn't support Newt Gingrich's positions on the issues, but finds himself as an unlikely defender of the man, in that he believes questions about Newt Gingrich's past marriages and infidelities are largely irrelevant and distracting to presidential campaigns. 'People in America are generally forgiving of people who admit their shortcomings,' said. 'That was the problem with Herman Cain. He took no responsibility for the sexual allegations and let the story go. Newt took it head on.'
    - jmsaba, CNN iReport producer

    The debates are clearly showing that the Republican public is turning towards Newt. The timing of the interview with his ex-wife will also support him because republican candidates will always win a battle against the media. Quite honestly, as long as his sexual relationships are legal, it should be a non-issue or at least one un-deserving of such vast attention
