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.

      I thought ol' fat-n-angry from Georgia had already announced he was suspending his campaign weeks ago with the subtle distinction being that a "suspension" allowed him to keep fund raising to pay off his $4 million campaign debt whereas "ending" his campaign would choke off the cash supply.

      How is this different from the previous announcement? Suspension Level II, I'm really suspending my efforts now? How long before the nasty prick just quits.

                What an absolute joke!! Newt Gingrich will now support the very man he stated over and over again, that was NOT capable of beating President Obama?? What a hypocrisy. I realize the complex rules of politics, but this primary was so personal and so "bloody", I can respect Rick Santorum more for hesitating to support the man he truly believes is not conducive for the office of POTUS. Say what you will about Rick Santorum but he was the ONLY GOP Candidate (I disagreed with everything he stood for) who had true conviction. I wish he was of the democratic persuasion.

                    Citizens have finally spoken that effectively shut down Newty.

                    Simple.

                      May 1 is the date when workers are supposd to stay home from work in solidarity with the Occupy movement. I guess Newt doesnt like Wall Street either and wants to support the 99%? It is also a big communist holiday. So Newt is a communist too?

                        Not unexpected...but certainly good news.

                        Maybe NOW Newtie will go away forever.

                          We must ask, is our future to be more of the same? It seems that no matter who is in the White house, Congress or Senate, outside influences control the direction the country moves. Money is power, power is control, control is no longer in the hands of the people. With corporations now legally "persons", with the right to donate huge amounts of money to their chosen candidate, and with lobbyist's working on behalf of every special interest in the world, we don't stand a chance of seeing anything different. We need REAL change. I think we are all still hanging on to the idea that the electoral process may still be legitimate. I no longer believe in it at all!

                          Our country has been stolen from us. I love all the back and forth between right and left, conservative and liberal, what a joke. It is all meaningless drivel that amounts to nothing in the end.

                          Hope and change? More like, hopelessly deranged!

                          Money and hope poured down a hole that supports, ever more restricted freedom, ever more disparate economics, ever more degraded living standards. Drones in American skies, watching American people, arrests with no charges, no trial. Incarceration with no release date. Less money for education. Less oversight of polluters. Less regulation of industry. A never ending drive for "the haves" to acquire the dwindling assets of the "have nots". When the "have nots" run out of stuff to grab what will "the haves" go after? Perhaps slavery is not permanently dead after all?

                          God, what a hopeless post!

                          Am I the only one that feels this way?

                          Politicians are just like wrestlers in the WWE. Nothing is real about their character. One minute they hate the opposition, the next minute they are tag team partners. How can yousay how Mitt is not the right choice for the nominee and then turn around and endorse him? Never understood this about politicians (democrat or repub). If you really dislike a person and do not believe in what they represent, how can you endorse them? (Unless its all for show). I know Newt hasn't endorsed him yet be if he does who's the flip flopper now?

                                Just think-If a brain were required to post a comment here, there would be no comments except mine. No wonder unemployment is so high. Everyone is making comments on the brainless page except me thinking someone else will solve their problems. How embarrasing from a people who used to belong to a proud nation of hard workers. Just the opposite now. These comments only reflect the mental deficit alive today.

                                  Gingrich was never a legitimate factor in the race. Just another arrogant, egotistical pretender, but then again one was elected almost 4 years ago. The problem for the GOP is the majority of voters in the country are naive, ignorant mentally challenged morons who, by that definition, are Democraps.

                                  funny... the well educated citizens of well developed states vote Democrat and in states where rednecks and hillbillies live, they vote Republican... how is that?
                                  You got something wrong, buddy!

                                      Rodfather: why 5/1/12? Most likely it is because he and Calli have a book tour engagement scheduled for this weekend, and he wants to get his "campaign" to foot the bill for it--and for the American people to foot the bill for his security for it. After all, Calli must be demanding quite a few blue boxes from Tiffany's for being so inconvenienced while having to follow him around the country all this time. Newt wouldn't want to have to spend any of his personal funds--he's gonna need all that cash to keep her happy! Face it, folks--it was always about PUBLICITY for Newt. Nothing more than that. A way to line his pockets without having to spend any of his own money.
