[Newt Gingrich] Told college Republicans in 1978: "One of the great problems we have ... is that we don't encourage you to be nasty …" whereas Democrats "understand that cannibalism is the nature of the business." In 1998, resigning as House speaker, he told GOP colleagues: "I'm not willing to preside over people who are cannibals." [Ron Paul] In high school, he won state in the 220-yard dash. Penn State offered him an athletic scholarship, even though he tore knee cartilage playing touch football over the summer. He declined, saying he couldn't accept in good conscience. Now he has two artificial knees. [Rick Perry DROPPED OUT] Played six-man football as one of 13 students in the Class of 1968 at Paint Creek Rural School.

[Mitt Romney] During college, went to France as a Mormon missionary for 2½ years — his lean years, he says — when a bucket sometimes was his toilet and a hose his shower.
