He’s bowing out.
According to the article, "The Gingrich campaign is reportedly millions of dollars in debt." Always a good reason for bowing out.
The Romney campaign’s recent cash inflow made it easier for him to offer to liquidate Newt’s campaign debt, in effect buying him out of the race.
I recalll that John Glenn’s presidential primary run (was that 1984?) still had outstanding debts in 2000. Ususally it is the vendors of services (transportation, telephony, printers, etc.) that are left holding the bag when a campaign fails. Why anyone extends credit to a political campaign, I do not know.
If he is bowing out, it is curious he waited until Santorum dropped out.
Whatever, the 2012 Hucka-hanger-on is finally revealed.
The 2012 race was very similar to the 2008 one — several conservatives stayed in long enough to knock each other out and hand the nomination to the elite’s preferred candidate.

He is.
Earlier today he said he would support Mitt Romney.
Of course he’s bowing out...he didn’t get enough votes.
I find that unfortunate but no one can deny that Newt has a lot of baggage and what does it mean when we’re expecting a brilliant, but tired and already trashed guy to save us?
I wanted Sarah...but this world isn’t built on wishful thinking. I’ll deal with what we’ve got.
