Fischer: Gingrich Infidelity Damning

Bryan Fischer (pictured), who ran the Idaho Values Alliance from 2005 to 2009, appeared on Thursday morning's Today show, in a story titled, "The Politics of Personal Life." The story focused on how GOP presidential candidate and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich is explaining his two divorces, infidelity and three marriages to evangelicals, a substantial portion of Republican primary voters. Fischer appears early in the four-minute piece, speaking on behalf of the Mississippi-based American Family Association. Now a radio host for AFA, Fischer told NBC: "The problem with Mr. Gingrich is not once, but twice, he has violated that solemn and sacred oath. And that's why it's a show-stopper for me"/Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Would Newt Gingrich's 2 divorces influence how you vote in the 2012 presidential election?
