ABC has the exclusive goods on Newt Gingrich’s marital infidelities as told by his second wife Marianne Gingrich. They will air in full tonight.

Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich have given Mitt Romney an extraordinary gift. Their anti-free-market rants against Mr. Romney and his former firm Bain Capital have made the ex Massachusetts governor a cause célèbre among conservative talk show hosts like Sean Hannity. These were the exact hosts who have been wary of Mr. Romney’s conservative bona fides for […]

Is there any end to the love being showered on Mitt Romney from former Georgia Congressman Newt Gingrich? The Earl of Pomposity generously assumed frontrunner status in the final weeks of the Iowa Caucuses, freezing the rest of the GOP field in place before predictably collapsing. Now Mr. Gingrich and his casino magnate backer are unleashing the […]

Rick Santorum crept up in the Iowa polls in recent weeks as the last standing social conservative who could challenge Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination. As Newt Gingrich’s and Michele Bachmann’s supporters looked for a relevant place to cast their vote, Mr. Santorum, who campaigned endlessly in Iowa, became the latest, and maybe last, “it” […]

Newt Gingrich has jumped the shark. The man who has had a “bold” new “solution” daily since the 1980’s — in direct contradiction to conservative thought — is now attacking conservative icons like George Will and Charles Krauthammer, and revered conservative publications like National Review, through his super PAC “Winning Our Future.” Their crime is in […]

So much for staying above the fray.

Mr. Gingrich and his campaign are accusing Mitt Romney of being […]

“Gingrich’s unsurprising descent into sinister radicalism — intimidation of courts — is redundant evidence that he is not merely the least conservative candidate, he is thoroughly anti-conservative. He disdains the central conservative virtue, prudence, and exemplifies progressivism’s defining attribute — impatience with impediments to the political branches’ wielding of untrammeled power. He exalts the will […]

Things are looking up for Mitt Romney. Besides new polling numbers which have him, once again, leading the field in Iowa, his primary opponents’ slips are showing. Newt Gingrich has inexplicably introduced the idea of police officers dragging judges off the bench to congressional inquisitions. And today he told a gay American that he should […]

New Polls out of Iowa confirm what Rasmussen reported on Friday. Newt Gingrich is tanking. Ron Paul is now formally in the lead in the Hawkeye State, but that cannot last. His isolationist foreign policy positions are anathema to a vast majority of Republicans everywhere. Mr. Gingrich’s precipitous drop is welcome evidence that the messaging used by other […]

Anyone who says Newt Gingrich doesn’t like big government hasn’t read his “National Space and Aeronautics Policy Act of 1981.” Mr. Gingrich wanted to bring government to Jupiter and Mars, as Frank Sinatra might sing, but his legislation was shot out of the sky by sane minds in Congress. The bill amendment — you can’t make this […]
