Gingrich raised $200,000 to oust Iowa judges who legalized same-sex marriage

Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich helped bring in $200,000 to support a 2010 campaign to remove three Iowa Supreme Court judges from office because of their votes to allow marriage for same-sex couples. Gingrich, who has been married three times and has admitted to infidelity in the past, is currying favor with conservative religious groups ahead of a possible run for president, according to this article in the Los Angeles Times.
