Gingrich on Bristol Palin's Baby

I just had a chance to ask former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich what he thought about the news that Governor Sarah Palin's daughter is 5 months pregnant.

"I think they should get married, I hope the baby is healthy and I hope they have a good life," he told me en route to an elevator on the press level of the Xcel Energy Center.

I said I believed Bristol is planning to marry her baby's father. Gingrich replied, "That's good."
