'No way' Newt can win, ex-wife says
Posted: August 10th, 2010

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) – As Newt Gingrich continues to signal his intention to run for president in 2012, his ex-wife says she finds it inconceivable the former Republican House Speaker has any chance of winning the White House.

"There's no way," Marianne Gingrich tells Esquire Magazine in a profile of the ex-Republican leader posted on the magazine's website Tuesday. "He could have been president. But when you try and change your history too much, and try and recolor it because you don't like the way it was or you want it to be different to prove something new ... you lose touch with who you really are. You lose your way."

But Marianne, who was married to Gingrich from 1981-1999, says her former husband might just have the right mentality to launch a White House bid, even if victory is far-fetched.

"He believes that what he says in public and how he lives don't have to be connected," she tells the magazine. "If you believe that, then yeah, you can run for president."

Marianne also says her former husband is a self-conscious man who "grew up poor and always wanted to be somebody, to make a difference, to prove himself."

"He has to be historic to justify his life," she tells the magazine.

But in the same profile, Gingrich paints a different picture of his childhood saying it resembled what "Norman Rockwell captures in his pictures."

The lengthy Esquire profile comes amid Gingrich's stepped up activity in Iowa – the key early-voting presidential state.

On Friday, Gingrich will make his sixth visit to the state in recent months to attend the Iowa State Fair, a traditional stomping ground for presidential aspirants.

Gingrich plans to open the day at the Iowa Republican Party booth and sign copies of his book, "To Save America," an appearance sure to help the state party touch a number of potential voters as they seek to re-capture the governor's mansion and a handful of House seats.

And according to a GOP source in the state, Gingrich also has a meeting planned at the fair with several GOP donors. After a morning dose of glad-handing and livestock-watching, he is slated to headline two fundraisers: One for Sen. Charles Grassley, who is seeking a sixth term in Washington, and another for the People United for Republican Sisters' Election (PURSE) political action committee, a group formed to assist female GOP candidates.

If the economy doesn't take a crap in Sept 2008, and waits 3 months, and/or if Mccain chooses a romney over a Palin...

Mccain is president right now.

Nobody cares about newt being an adulterer.

Without Palin McCain wouldnt have gotten 20% of the vote.He is a loser and she tried to drag him across the finnish line but the guy just wouldnt attack Obama,he conceeded from day one of his campaign,trying to get libs to like him.

McCain is a loser

Why do you think the republican primary voters chose a "loser"?

It was his turn,just like Dole.Plus there wasnt one good candidate running but Ron Paul and he was painted as a clown.McCAIN led after Palins speech and fell off the cliff after he suspended his campaign.The numbers dont lie,once he suspended the campaign,the race was over.It was McCains fault and add to that that he refused to talk about Rev. Wright and Obamas racism and you have a loser.

[240 is Back]

Whose "turn" is it in 2012?

And can you post the link to where they announce whose "turn" it is, so the republican voters know how to vote?

Wrong on all counts.  A number of factors contributed to Obama's win, with the two most important being money and the economy.  

McCain did not lose because he picked Palin.    People vote the top of the ticket.

Plenty of people care about Newt's integrity.  He would lose a lot of voters for being a hypocrite.  It's true that integrity doesn't matter to some, but it's certainly an important issue.

You know sometimes you act like a dick.You always blame Palin without a dam bit of evidence to support the claim.Its MSNBC talking points.You voted for Bob Barr[you say,I say you voted for Obama]what the fuck do you know about the RNC?You and the morons on MSNBC and other super libs  are the only people Ive ever heard say it was Palins fault.NOT ONE conservative says it.In fact Ive never heard a republican say it other then the morons running McCains failed campaign.

She energised the base.He is HATED by conservatives.There are at least three to five people just on this site who voted for that ticket ONLY because she was on it,Im one of them.I despise John McCain,if Palin wasnt on the ticket,I would have stayed home and there are millions of conservatives who felt the same including guys like Rush,Mark Levin and Laura Ingraham.

Once again,you and the other goof ball libs like those on your news network,MSNBC use this talking point all the time,but it holds no water and once again,check the numbers,when that fool stopped his campaign his numbers fell off the table and he never recovered.Keep in mind,she was getting 60,000 people to watch her in Florida,he was getting 2,000.Without her on the stage he got ZERO supporters.

[BM OUT]

By the way.Perhaps you could explain why McCain has her campaign for him in a republican  primary in Arizona when he is the presidential candidate?If she cost him the election,certainly he would avoid having her in like the plague.But alas,he has to have her campaign because he is a fake conservative.Seems odd to have someone who cost you the election campaign for you.

Cause palin plays well with 25% of voters - far right people.
These are the folks hayward is stealing from mccain.
palin can win them back - she just can't win with independents (see: 2008)

So then you obviously agree that without Palin ,McCain would have had zero conservative turnout as he cant get conservatives to vote for him in his own home state against a nut job.He needed a true conservative to get the base out because he couldnt do it himself.So then its obvious you agree that Palin was the only reason he did as well as he did in the presidential election as she got the base fired up and was drawing crowds of up to 60,000 while McCAIN couldnt get 2,000.Im glad you see the light.

He lost a large chunk of independent voters.  Thanks to her.

But this thread isn't about her, it's about newt and the willingness of voters to look past him banging a mistress like a screen door while hating on clinton for a BJ.  I dont think it'll affect him.  Mccain admitted his affair, and it didn't bother getbig repub voters.

Im not a Newt fan.He shoots his mouth off without thinking all the time.He isnt a goof like us on GETBIG where we can say any stupid thing we want anytime it pops into our heads.He is way to impulsive for me.He is a smart guy,but is almost to smart for his own good.

My choices are 1-Thune 2-Paul Ryan 3-Chris Cristy 4-Ron Paul[my first choice but he is getting old].Id take any of them at the top and if its not Ryan I will take him at the bottom of the ticket.
