Here's the only interesting one of the lot:

16) Is the time right for South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford to dip his toes into presidential waters? This quote tells you just about everything you need to know:

"Governor Sanford's reforms have saved South Carolina taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. ... Mark Sanford has made a real difference. He is a true taxpayer hero."
—Citizens Against Government Waste Political Action Committee Chairman Tom Schatz

Sanford would have a real uphill battle to get the nomination, but in a field this weak, he'd be guaranteed to at least get a long, hard look from the base.

A very perceptive look at the field---although I think Newt is a wack job, regardless of his affairs marital.
