Newt Gingrich Blasts CNN For Beginning Debate With ‘Despicable’ Open Marriage Allegations I noticed in the interview, she never actually quoted Newt asking for an open marriage, but simply said something about sharing him without any context. Both Gingrich and his daughters deny the claim. Gingrich Daughters: 'Open Marriage' Charge 'Simply Not True' I guess his daughters know a little about his ex. There just ain't no way this happened. It's too bizarre. Sounds like she totally misunderstood what he was saying, likely being upset. Or she's still very pissed. Either way, it never happened. So really, we've leaned nothing new here. Gingrich cheated 20 years ago. He admits his sins. Old news. This may affect the outcome of the race, but I have a feeling it won't. It really depends on what Gingrich says in the next few days.

How would his daughter know if he and his wife had an "open marriage"? That seems like a weird thing for her to claim to know. Do you know if your parents had an "open marriage"?
I do. They absolutely did not. My mom would have killed my dad had he asked that. I knew my parents very well. The daughters are good witnesses because they knew this woman for many years. she must have insinuated this in the past, and they wanted to respond. But again, notice the words she quoted in the interview. She never quoted him saying I want an open marriage. That's pretty much ends this.
However you view this, you have to admit Gingrich is no glass-jaw candidate. To get a standing o on the day of the accusation is pretty impressive. All the candidates are going to have to take punches like this and then counter. No question Newt showed can can take it. (at least so far)
Are the republicans going to stop pretending to be the party of family values at any point? Who knew Newt Gingrich and Alex Rodriguez would have something like ex wife open marriage/swinger claims in common? A sexually freaky person turns Catholic usually it works the opposite way.
DUDE WTF with the out of the blue pervert peeping tom BS?!?!?! I'll have you know my name is not Tom.
Newt wanting an open marriage, or divorcing his wife has no reflection on how he will govern or what he will do if he becomes president the issues are pure distractions.
Obama destroyed one guy by getting the media to sue to unseal his divorce records, over the objections of both man and wife.
Newt would crush obama, thats why the press is doing so much to destroy him. Tip going forward, the republican the press is attacking most ardently is the guy that will be best at destroying the left. If the MSM hates Newt then i love him.
Newt is a slimy, self serving, smug, racist, arrogant weasel. Dude divorced wives while they were ill. Dude shut down the government. Dude was crying for Clintons head over Monica, while having plans to impeach Gore if he pardoned Clinton.
Why would you even ever consider voting for someone who has already been thrown out of government once? Even his colleagues don't trust him. That's who you want to restore trust in Washington? Geez, and you all say RP supporters are crazy!
Conservative have become insane. They are either to dumb to know Newt can't win or want to give Obama 4 more years.
We'll see. I'm not sure, frankly. I still support him, but am not sure how the rest of the country will receive this. I don't think the white house has ever seen a driven intellect like Newt's before. I think he's a rare gem. But it's going to take a very brave and mature country to look passed in past flaws and see the good man that's emerged. I hope they do. Just listening to his accusers makes him look better and better. Frankly I've never seen such inept attempts and insults.
Well, maybe "family values" candidates talk about their sex life with their daughters? (you're right. . .of course!)
