The 2012 election news is slowly getting up to speed, and with Obama being the dem candidate, news primarily reports on the republican side of things.
Apparently, Cain is now supporting Gingrich, but I am wondering about his chances.

From what I have read up until now, Gingrich has no moral compass and has done some very amoral things in the past, like having affairs when his wives were sick, serving divorce papers to a wife in the hospital bed, and leaving his wife with not enough money to pay for the hospital bills.

American Conservatives traditionally put a lot of importance on family values and strong morals, and Gingrich has neither, so I think it is strange that he would have an actual shot at the Republican nomination. But news of the upcoming election is still very sparse here so I am not getting the full picture.

Does he have an actual chance, and if so why doesn't his behavior turn the Conservative voters away from him? Or is he only running for the attention?
