Gingrich has multiple past errors in judgment

Is Newt Gingrich a worthy candidate or just an opportunistic windbag? His baggage is heavy. He's even wearing it. He's a seasoned politician. Is this really what we want? Aren't we sick of the same old rhetoric and a comeback kid from a questionable past?

As he poked his ferret-finger in the eye of Mitt Romney, the other fingers were pointing back at himself.

The president and the first lady are expected to symbolize the highest sense of family piety possible to represent the citizens of the greatest nation on Earth. A president should be elected because of the ability to guide our country in the right direction by making good decisions. It would be best if our president is free of multiple past errors in judgment.

If Newt should weasel the nomination, I will be looking for a third party candidate, or I will withhold my vote for the first time in over 50 years.
