Newt needs to get over himself. He's not going to be the GOP nominee.

I have to support Gingrich on this.

He learned from his mistake. When he quit the House, it was the wrong thing to do.

This time he’s being tough. I don’t think it will help this time around, but he’s learned from his mistake. Not a bad quality in people.

I guess we found out who wears the pants.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Newt who?

[SERKIT]

Who will inform Newt that his campaign is assuming room temperature, with the never-to-be First Lady holding the murder weapon?

The departure of the campaign staff came after the couple returned from a cruise that left them out of public view for 11 days

Taking a low profile was actually a wise decision on Gingrich's part, after opening his campaign with a giant gaffe. In fact I recommend he keep a low profile for at least ten years to really make sure the public forgets.

This is a little early to be making judgements. Everything will be revealed in time. Newt is a smart man but sometimes he does dumb things. Lets see if he comes up with some good ideas that can be used to defeat Obama.

Everybody that is dogging one of the GOP candidates is helping Obama. Promote the good points of your favorite candidate and if you are a one issue voter, try to get your issue on the platform. By breaking up into a bunch quarreling single issue voters we hand the election to the socialists.

He knows he doesn't have a prayer of winning. It's not about winning.

It's about cashing-in on government-provided campaign funding for him and his cronies.

Newt needs to find another moral issue, left-wing politician, or ideal that he can compromisej with/on and just fade away.

He knows that he doesn't have a prayer but he thinks it'll up his future speaking fees.

[Gaffer]

Apparently, Newt is letting Calista pull him around by his Anthony [Weiner]. To insist on a 2 week cruise to the Greek Isles at the outset of his ill-fated campaign is just so typical of a bossy bitch. It's no wonder this tart has run up a $500K bill in jewelry that he has to pay for.

My guess is he really wasn't serious about it - just trying to scam some campaign cash and headlines to keep his money flow up so he could keep this tramp. I dunno bout you, but she must be giving him something spectacular to make him act like the fool he is.

I always thought it was odd that these hired staff folks take the campaign’s paychecks, then when they have a dispute, go to press to badmouth the organization that was paying them.

In most professions, you could get sued for such actions. And many of us have contracts with a “confidentiality” agreement.

Stick a fork in it, grandma.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Regardless of their reasons for leaving, the speaking out now by the former consultants should make them radioactive to any future candidate. They are a collection of budding authors who will sellout their next boss at the most profitable time.

[Joe 6-pack]

Weiner may be available pretty soon to run Newtie’s campaign.

“Now we’ll find out over the next year who’s right.”

Don’t we already know? When Dems and Reps alike (not to mention your entire, now resigned staff) agree your candidacy is a loser, who are you trying to appeal to? This is the Republican primaries, not some mythical general election.

If this is a gambit to angle in on VP, a cabinet position, or increased speaking fees, there IS such a thing as bad publicity.
