Gingrich's 2012 campaign in tatters as his entire high command resigns
UK Daily Mail ^ | 6/9/11 | Daily Mail Reporter

Newt Gingrich's presidential dreams are in tatters this afternoon after his entire high command resigned in a mass exodus today.

The Republican hopeful's campaign manager, senior strategists and key aides in early delegate-selection states all walked out this afternoon, but refused to say why - other than a 'difference in direction'.

Rick Tyler, Gingrich's spokesman, said he, campaign manager Rob Johnson and senior strategists were among those who had resigned.

'When the campaign and the candidate disagree on the path, they've got to part ways,' Mr Tyler told the Washington Post this afternoon.

That’s my feeling, too. Gingrich can be very good...and very bad, when he starts trying to suck up to the Dems.

But one thing we all saw when he was driven out of his position by completely irrational complaints about his making money for a book he had written (which Congress already knew about and had approved) is that he is weak.

Like him or not, he could never lasted the run, and I honestly think he was just giving it the old college try - or maybe, since his staff has all defected to the same person, he was just setting it up for somebody else but he wasn’s sure who that person was going to be (until now).

I never thought he was serious.

Maybe another sit down with Nancy Pelosi for advice would help?

You have to wonder what all that spray they put on that head to hold the hair in place did to the atmosphere.

Hope no one smokes a cigarette in her direction, she could go up in smoke.

When the campaign and the candidate disagree on the path

That above must be a type, because it should read:

Severe lack of real men in Congress; Eunuchs and crybabies abound.

His campaign was in tatters after he weighed in on NY 23 (and took other similar RINO positions).

At least it will give him and his wife more time to shop at Tiffany’s and take expensive cruises. After all he is a man of the little people.

Newt, the 90’s were 20 years ago, give it up. Your couch ad did you in.
