GREGORY: You look at the field that's starting to take shape on the Republican side -- and we'll put the, the current polling on the board -- Mike Huckabee is now not running. He was high up there. Donald Trump . You were there at 10 percent. And our latest poll still indicates that you've still got high negatives. There's still a high unfavorable rating. Some of that, Mr. Speaker, has to do with your own personal life , the fact that you've been married three times, you had extramarital affairs , one of -- during which the time that Republicans were pursuing President Clinton for impeachment that earned you the label of being a hypocrite.

And I 'll put it up on the screen. This was from last summer. Senator Coburn "made it clear that he won't be on Newt Gingrich 's 2012 presidential bandwagon. " Gingrich 'is a super-smart man, but he doesn't know anything about commitment to marriage ,' he said of the thrice-married former House speaker . 'He's the last person I'd vote for, for president of the United States . His life indicates he does not have a commitment to the character traits necessary to be a great president.'"
