I am wondering where Newt Gingrich attends church and where his wife attends church. I understand he claims to be Southern Baptist but his wife is Catholic and he asked for an annulment of his 2nd marriage. Can anyone help?

I think he goes to the same Satanic church that Rush Limbaugh goes to.
Newt Gingrich Tony Blair Laura Ingraham Francis Beckwith (President of the Evangelical Theological Society) Judge Robert Bork Jeb Bush Ernest ...
Jeb Bush goes from Episcopalian to Catholic because he's in Florida.
George W. Bush goes from Episcopalian to Methodist because he's in Texas.
John McCain goes from Episcopalian to Baptist because he was trying to woo Southern voters.
And now Newt Gingrich goes from Baptist to Catholic for who knows what reason. (Did he recently move to Florida too?)

The people you mentioned did not change religions - they joined a different denomination - BIG difference.
Your question would be valid if they converted form Christianity to say Judaism or Muslim or even an offshoot like Unitarian.
People change denominations all the time. My own parents were life long presbyterians but when the moved to FL they just liked the local methodist church better. The main difference between the 2 is the internal church government - that's about it.
I think a more appropriate question would be do politicians often hide behind a church to cover up their own messes or to gain votes in an election? The answer to that on both sides of the aisle is an unchallenged YES!

What a great (and sadly easy) way to manipulate the American public.
All this time I thought we had freedom of religion in this country.

Actually, it's nice to know that these people don't sincerely believe in their denominations or, probably, the greater religion as a whole.
But it's sad that people vote for them thinking they do.

Unilizzard,
I'm afraid Obama is STILL too centrist for my taste, and he did not switch his affiliation with the United Church of Christ/Congregationalists to something more open-minded like Unitarianism to dupe liberals.
Such religious manipulation seems to be the exclusive domain of Republicans.
No. Sometimes, we find different domination church that we feel comfortable to attend services,

Vox Populi » Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich to speak at Georgetown ...
These Republican heavy-hitters will visit Georgetown within just two days of each other. Gingrich, the former Republican Speaker of the House, will be here on Monday, April 19, and Rove, who was former President George W. Bush’s adviser, is coming on April 21.
According to Student Activities Commission minutes , Rove’s typical speaking fee is $35,000, but Lecture Fund bargained him down to $8,000. SAC allocated them $8,500 for fees, security, and additional costs in a 5-3-3 vote in early February.
Alicia Melvin, an event coordinator for the April 19 movie screening, confirmed that Gingrich would be present at the screening, which is being sponsored by the Catholic Students Association and co-sponsored by the Georgetown College Republicans.
The screening will take place at at 7 p.m. in the ICC Auditorium. Rove will speak at an unknown time in the Lohrfink Auditorium in the Hariri Building.
...A Catholic Man: Newt Gingrich: A Catholic Man
“At a moment when the role of religious fundamentalism in the party is a central question for reformers, Newt Gingrich , rather than making any kind of case for a new enlightenment, has in fact gone to great lengths to placate Christian conservatives. The family-values crowd has never completely embraced Newt, probably because he has been married three times, most recently to a former Hill staff member, Callista Bisek . In 2006, though, Gingrich wrote a book called — part of a new canon of work he has done reaffirming the role of religion in public life. The following year, he went on radio with the evangelical minister James Dobson to apologize for having been unfaithful to his second wife. A Baptist since graduate school, Gingrich said he will soon convert to Catholicism, his wife’s faith.”
