ATLANTA (AP) -- Newt Gingrich's presidential campaign is more than $1 million in debt, according to his campaign disclosure provided to The Associated Press on Friday.

I ain’t going to vote for him, but I hope he stays in the race. I want to hear him in the debates.

His campaign advisers tried to give him a clue when THEY QUIT!!!

-- His campaign advisers tried to give him a clue when THEY QUIT!! --

From the gist of this article, they quit on account of not being paid.

Newt Gingrich's presidential campaign is more than $1 million in debt,

Just the guy to "fix" the economy. *sigh*

[MestaMachine]

gingrich has achieved the status he should have been recognized for a long time ago. He is a con man...running for president for the money he could manage to receive in donations. But he blew it right out of the box.

Don't left him off one dime of it.
How much was Hillary in debt after her (NY Senate)campaigns. I bet she did not pay a dime. But she made truck loads of dimes for her books...(ghost written). Does anyone smell political pay backs?

Meanwhile Newty went on a cruise.

Newt Gingrich = Elmer Gantry....or Lonesome Rhodes.

He has made some good points and seemed pretty smart earlier in his career - but at this point he is just “riding the gravy train”...sad that he couldn’t go out better.

[iowamark]

Gingrich's White House bid has struggled since 18 staff members, consultants and advisers, including his two chief fundraisers, resigned earlier this year.

Having 18 paid staff was way too extravagant. That and the private jets are where his money went. All for nothing.

[concerned about politics]

He never should have cozied up with the left. That sealed his fate.

[RedMDer]

[Kirkwood]

He runs his campaign the way obama runs the country.

[tennmountainman]

What exactly do you want to hear debate about? A better fiscal policy for America (He can’t even keep his own campaign out of debt)

[wolfpat]

His campaign is in debt because nobody actually wants him to be president. But he is a very good historian, and can provide perspective in the debates.

[theDentist]

Really? In debt about $1 million? Are they aware that Hillary’s debts still aren’t paid off? How is this news?

[Joe Boucher]

wolfat,
I do not care for Newt or a whole lot of other “old guard”.
But Ya know he is capeable of throwing a few timely bombs in to the mix.

Gots to make it fun ya know?

[Theodore R.]

He never truly “left” the left, as he started out with Nelson Rockefeller in 1968.

[bray]

Perhaps he could use some more Right Wing Social Engineering...or Accounting.

Pray for America

I ain’t going to vote for him, but I hope he stays in the race. I want to hear him in the debates.

If this report is accurate, you might have to chip in for his airfare.
