I was never going to vote for Newt anyway.
Gingrich has a suicide impulse. This is the second time in the campaign he has intentionally trashed mainstream conservatives to “broaden” his base. The first was back in May, when he called Paul Ryan’s budget plan a form of “right wing social engineering”. He plummeted in the polls. Now, less than two weeks after he started to climb because of the Perry and Cain problems, he’s decided to toss himself off the building a second time. Romney’s going to get the nomination by default given the never ending snafus of the other main contenders.
