[Lazlo in PA]

Without Gaffe Rick, Newt would be winning LA.

Based on what? Newts stellar Southern States Strategy? If you didn't read yesterday, Newt is broke. He doesn't have enough money in his campaign coffers to to have kids staple home made signs on light poles. How is that going to work in challenging Romney in LA?

Newt's campaign is more than broke, he spent more last month than what he actually took in... some fiscal conservative.
His campaign is running in debt mode and there are some dissatisfaction in the camp from some of his top advisers about how Newt is running the show.
Also, there are delegates jumping ship and giving their support over to Rick Santorum.
