From the Commies at Kos:

Make no mistake, Newt Gingrich is running in 2008 for president. While the conventional wisdom on the Left is that by Gingrich’s admitting to an affair during the Clinton presidency, he has all but sunk his chances of winning the vote of the Christian Right. I believe the reverse is actually true. Newt Gingrich just made himself the Republican front runner of 2008. Here is why. I think it is very important to consider how and where Gingrich made his disclosure.

Today and tomorrow, James Dobson is running an interview he had with Newt Gingrich on his Focus on the Family daily radio show. Focus on the Family gave an “exclusive” early transcript of the interview to the equally conservative World Net Daily. To me I think it is clear that Dobson is working to help resurrect Gingrich’s presidential image with the Christian Right. Dobson and Gingrich are skillfully depicted Gingrich as the man tempted by sin and has seen the errors of his past ways. We are witnessing Gingrich become a twice Born Again Christian.

If the fringe left is terrified of Gingrich, that makes me feel awfully warm all over about the prospects of his candidacy.
