Newt Gingrich Hints He May End Campaign

Source: huffingtonpost

Newt Gingrich on Monday hinted that he may soon end his fledgling bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

"I think we need to take a deep look at what we are doing," Gingrich said in an interview with NBC News during a campaign stop in Delaware. "We will be in North Carolina tomorrow night and we will look and see what the results are."

According to NBC, the former House speaker said he would need to "reassess" based on the results of Tuesday's primary in Delaware, a state where Gingrich has spent a great deal of time campaigning in recent weeks. Gingrich indicated that the state's 17 delegates were crucial to his viability as a candidate.

"I would hope we would do well here -– either carry it or come very, very close," Gingrich said.

Newt stay in. The comedy is gold. And if voter fraud sticks, who's gonna pick up the torch. Ron Paul? Come on Moon Unit, Like Oh My God! Gag me with a spoon. Totally! I think Tiffany's delivers to the White House.

It was a horrible experience changing my (FL) voter registration to [ I can't say it ] to cast a vote for him. And now, a most sickening feeling has come over me.

"GOP Candidate Acknowledges Reality-- Film At Eleven."

Might as well make it official, since Newt is one of an ever-shrinking number of people who thinks of himself as a Viable Candidate.

It was so much fun watching the wingnuts scarfing up everything he had to serve. Damn now I'm going to have to find something else to humor myself with.

Who knew he really was no relation to owls. His stepford wife apparently never noticed that he was done before he started either. Will she divorce him now that there's no more Tiffany uptake?
