I wonder where the “NewtJobs” will flit to next once the media is done with Gingrich. This is all part of their plan, and so many “conservatives” are playing along to a tee. We deserve to lose if we cannot support candidates that have steadfastly stuck to their conservative values, if we let the media decide who we will end up having to vote for.

Who will they build up next?

Gingrich's Organization Deficit Disorder
He has no serious team in Iowa, and he failed to present enough signatures to get on the ballot in Ohio.

snip....

That could happen in part because Mr. Gingrich has little or no campaign organization in Iowa and most other states. He didn't file a complete slate of New Hampshire delegates and alternates. He is the only candidate who didn't qualify for the Missouri primary, and on Wednesday he failed to present enough signatures to get on the ballot in Ohio. Redistricting squabbles may lead the legislature to move the primary to a later date and re-open filing, but it's still embarrassing to be so poorly organized.

Organization truly matters, especially in low-turnout caucuses. Four years ago, for example, 118,917 Republicans turned out in Iowa—and only 424 votes separated the third- and fourth-place finishers. The total turnout was considerably less than the 229,732 Iowans who voted in the GOP primary for governor two years later. Being organized in all 99 Iowa counties means more people can be dragged to caucus meetings who might otherwise stay home on a wintery eve, believing their vote doesn't matter.
