A good governor and would be a great candidate. I just don't think he'll jump in due to his personal baggage (or rather, his wife's).
I personally don't get it. He remarried his wife, after he had made some wealth. Is the idea is that he was had and thus is weak-willed or something?
His wife left him, very quickly remarried, and then came back to him. The family is very private about this period. There'd likely be a lot of questions about it if he was to run.
I don't see the issue. And yet we're willing to give Gingrich a pass? Come on.
I don't think it's a reason people won't vote for him. But he chose to stay out of the race despite having an excellent shot at the nomination the first time. I think his family's privacy might be a big reason.
Now that Huntsman's out, I'm definitely supporting him if he runs, though.
