Gingrich promised to follow the Ronald Reagan high road "Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican."
For a while Newt was all about running a positive campaign. He positioned himself as a uniter of Republicans, a changed man, a father figure urging his fellow R's to remain positive and avoid attacking each other. The eventual nominee should emerge from the primary to face President Obama "unbloodied."

When he lost Florida he stopped being a gentleman. He refused to congratulate Mitt, "He didn't deserve a congratulatory call". He no longer devoted himself solely to the issues like the economy, energy and unemployment. He began attacking Mitt's ability to address these. His funding dried up almost immediately as did his frontrunner status.

Newt appeared to be back to his old self, the Newt so easily caricatured by the Dems: snide, cynical, cutting. Once he lost that high ground, honestly? in my opinion he lost his chances. He lost his presidential air.

What a despicable post.

So that’s it? I guess I was more interested in hearing about specific attacks against “other” republicans. Let me ask you........when did we first learn Gingrich didn’t call Romney to “congratulate” him and from whom? From what I understand Romney ran a vicious campaign against Newt in Florida, why would he have deserved a congratulations, especially in a dirty primary campaign?
