9. May I add one? Back in 2006 Representative Jim Nussle ran for governor in Iowa

While Mr. Nussle was running the press was very quiet about the sffair he had with a congressional staffer that eventually led to his divorce and marriage to that staffer.
Nussle was introduced to the staffer by Gingrich. From what I understand, they often double-dated.
