WASHINGTON (AP) — Newt Gingrich's daughter says the former House speaker will "reassess" his campaign after the votes are tallied in Delaware, potentially setting the stage for his exit from the Republican presidential race.

Jackie Gingrich Cushman said Tuesday that her father's campaign has slimmed down but is still winning over voters who aren't yet sold on Mitt Romney, who has effectively clinched the GOP presidential nomination.

Despite trailing Romney in convention delegates and fundraising, Gingrich has vowed to campaign until the party's late-summer convention in Florida.

Gingrich is carrying more than $4.3 million in debt and has been spending more money than he is taking in.

I read a few pieces where people thought that Newt wanted to go out on a high note with a strong showing in DE. Are there any current numbers from there?

[tatown]

I haven’t seen anything new from DE.

[MulberryDraw]

Has anybody seen anything from any of the states that have not yet voted in the primary?

[CountryClassSF]

Since Santorum dropped out, they stopped conducting primary polls. Over at RealClearPolitics I’ve seen nothing for weeks. It’s just part of the media narrative that the rest of our votes just don’t matter.

“....Romney, who has effectively clinched the GOP presidential nomination.”

WHOA! When did he do that!?

[Grumpybutt]

It really P*sses me off when candidates drop out before all the states get to vote. Same as election night when the news people call the races before all states get to vote.

[dfwgator]

That’s why we need a National Primary Day.

I think it was a couple years ago...

Gingrich is carrying more than $4.3 million in debt and has been spending more money than he is taking in.

Whoa!

[Lazlo in PA]

It’s just part of the media narrative that the rest of our votes just don’t matter.

I think it has more to do with money. Polling gets expensive, depending on the state and methodology. I don't think Newt has any money to do it and Milt doesn't care anymore.

[rockinqsranch]

True. A couple of years ago he clinched it with the GOP-e didn’t he.

Campaign?

[IM2MAD]

As a money raiser, perhaps Newt’s campaign should sell “NO ROMBAMA” bumper stickers.

IF

you read that, you need to post the link, or stop gettting on Newt threads telling bald-faced lies.

[Resettozero]

He won this nomination process de facto when his operatives were given such strong reign over Palin’s VP campaign.

Yet, much can still happen before Election Day. Things could turn on a dime.

It really P*sses me off when candidates drop out before all the states get to vote.

It costs a lot of money to campaign. When the inflow of donations tapers off, so does the campaigning.

“....Romney, who has effectively clinched the GOP presidential nomination.”
WHOA! When did he do that!?”

The day Sarah Palin announced she wasn’t running....

[RitaOK]

Methinks maybe dirty tricks last 24 hours to depress opposition to Romney, since the text rather continues to not match the gossipy headline.
