"It's a sad commentary and something every American has to come to grips with that you could have people in a city like Washington so desperate that they would vote for a convicted felon with a totally failed record and a man who clearly is going to have an impossible time trying to deal with the Congress."

"((Gingrich)) said through a spokesman that he 'will strongly support Colonel North and looks forward to campaigning for him in Virginia.' "
