So how long before Newt Gingrich drops out of the 2012 presidential race?
In a major blow to Newt Gingrich’s presidential hopes, senior advisers to his 2012 campaign resigned en masse today, citing strategic differences.
The staffers include Rick Tyler, a longtime political adviser and close friend to Gingrich who has worked for the former House speaker for years, as well as Rob Johnson, a former longtime aide to Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who had been hired to manage Gingrich’s campaign.
According to the report, the staffers resigned because they were concerned about Gingrich’s commitment to the campaign, but in a statement Gingrich was adamant that he intends on staying in the race.
While Gingrich insists he’s staying in the race, I’m betting he’ll be out in less than three weeks, because the resignation of a large number of his campaign staffers – including his campaign manager – obviously won’t instill confidence in Gingrich’s candidacy among conservative voters.
His people are talking to my people…my vacation should cover the time he’ll stay in.
I actually want to change my prediction; I’m betting he won’t be in another full week.
Oh yea of little faith…I could manage him the of Rep nomination and you know it! LOL!
otoh: I want to be able to sleep at night.
Oh yea of little faith…I could manage him to the Rep nomination and you know it! LOL!
I hate this new keyboard.
