I don't see how it would hurt Newt. The election would be about policy discussion, not his marriages. Obama wouldn't stand a chance in that intellectual fencing match.
Politics is dirty pool. It would quickly devolve into his marriages. I personally like Newt. I'd strongly consider voting for him, he'd have lay out his platform and plans as President for me to make a final decision of course, but I wouldn't discount him as I would Huckabee or Palin right off the bat. Hell, maybe Pawlenty would be OK too, I just don't really have information on him. Though in general, I do like the idea of taking the President from State governors as they are executives of their own state government. Much better than legislatures in the executive seat.
