driven by how passionately i felt about this country, that i worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate. i think people have to render judgment. in my case, i said upfront openly, i ve made mistakes at times. i ve had to go to god for forgiveness and seek reconciliation. welcome back to the ed show. that was newt gingrich trying to save himself with evangelical voters in iowa. he s making a sales pitch, but many evangelicals are not buying it. he didn t sign the family leaders marriage vow back in the summertime, and he still hasn t signed it. instead, he put out a position paper saying he would uphold the institution of marriage through personal fidelity to my spouse and respect for the marital bonds of others. but his position paper hasn t satisfied some evangelical voters in the state of iowa. keep in mind, gingrich may have hit 40% in the national polls. now he s at 40%.

to answer. is he going negative not because he doesn t have the money to compete with negatives. i do think that gingrich has one saving grace here. ron paul. i think the higher ron paul goes the more everybody is going to be focusing on paul, not on gingrich. i think that s going to help newt recover and help romney probably win. laura: i don t get that i know you know a lot about a lot of things. i m looking at the numbers here. when ron paul goes up. newt gingrich goes down. mitt romney does not go up when ron paul goes up. in fact, they the percentage that newt gingrich is losing is not going to romney. it s going to paul. how does ron paul s rise help newt gingrich at this point? i think it s the opposite. i think newt has to start taking off the gloves on ron paul too. i m saying he should. the higher ron paul goes, the more attention he gets. the more attention he gets, the more he becomes the boogie man. and the more all the other candidates have to close in
