Opinion: Why Newt Gingrich's Adultery Matters
By Mark Grabowski - AOL NewsPeople's sex lives are a private matter, right? Not when it involves politicians.

"If the primary concern of the American people is my past, my candidacy would be irrelevant.

Similarly, Grindr provides a grid of who else in your ...
'John Beat Me!' Elizabeth Edwards Friend Tells Enquirer
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyJohn Edwards allegedly struck his wife, Elizabeth, around the Christmas holidays, in what the National Enquirer on Wednesday called "a horrific marriage-ending fight." This is the first time physical violence has been alleged in the very public and tawdry unraveling of their 32-year marriage. The tabloid quotes an unnamed Elizabeth Edwards friend saying, "John lost his temper, big-time," adding that Elizabeth "has the divorce papers drawn up, but she can amend them to charge John with domestic violence." On Jan. 21, Edwards publicly admitted what the Enquirer had long claimed: that he ...
