Gingrich to exit presidential race next week

 

NBC News confirms that Newt Gingrich will suspend his presidential campaign on Tuesday, May 1 in Washington, DC, a senior campaign source says.

After a four-hour meeting last night, the former House speaker has decided to end his run. Tuesday was chosen for logistical reasons so his family can come up to the area and so forth.

There is a "high likelihood" he will endorse the GOP nominee at Tuesday's event.

"All the way to the convention," Newt vowed.

Then again, he vowed "until death do us part"... three times... so what a shocker.

And what an idiot. I just LOVE how the right wing nut jobs hold THIS CLOWN up as their "mental giant."

Proves how shallow that end of the pool must really be.

    Secret, he was listening to Prophet of Doom; Sean Hannity who gives him his chances of winning from those numbers KKKanity gets off his finger tips nightly.

    Unfortunately, though Hannity can't vote for any republican since he is a registered conservative. Sean is always bragging about being a registered conservative.

    I’m not a Republican. I am a registered Conservative.

    Aww, isn’t that so …maverick of him?

    One of the other things Mr. Hannity insists on is that – right now – he’s still not backing a single horse in the race; he’s holding out to see where it goes. This is, as one might recognize, a total cop-out to make sure he’s both not looking stupid and following the Fox playbook.

    What no one seems to mention, though, is that it doesn’t matter which Republican he decides to back, he cannot vote for them.

                  Obama and his dog and pony show are about as Presidential as Goomer Pyle. He fails at every point in governing so maybe he should try singing and dancing.

                  Newt is a Statesman and will endorse Romney for the GOOD of the country, unlike dreadfully awful Santorum and his self imposed sense of importance. He is one of the greatest Narcissistic doodoos in the world.
