    Two days before the South Carolina primary, Texas Governor Rick Perry suspended his presidential campaign today and threw his support to Newt Gingrich. As the former House Speaker got that good news, ABC News released excerpts of an interview with his second wife, Marianne, who claims he lacks the moral character to be president. Interviewed by ABC's Brian Ross, she talked about Gingrich's affair with his now third wife, Calista. Matthew Cooper is Editor of the National Journal Daily.
