An admission of marital infidelity will not keep former House Speaker Newt Gingrich from being Liberty UniversityÂ’s graduation speaker in May - or from earning the backing of the Rev. Jerry Falwell, should he be the Republican candidate for president.
“This commencement address on May 19 is only an invitation, not an endorsement,” Falwell, LU’s chancellor, said on Friday. “But he does have my confidence and I’ve fully accepted his open confession of sin. If he is the candidate against Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, he’ll have my vote.”
I suppose if he's the candidate running against Hillary or Obama he'll get my vote, too. But I doubt if he will be. He's too easily caricatured. Nor would I consider a Jerry Falwell endorsement as a plus. I'll stick with Giuliani or Condi, thank you. |
