Title: Later Newt.. Post by: ekg on June 09, 2011, 08:56:10 pm Gingrich campaign in tatters as top aides resign
Quote ASHINGTON – The entire top echelon of Newt Gingrich's presidential campaign resigned on Thursday, a stunning mass exodus that left his bid for the Republican nomination in tatters. But the former House speaker vowed defiantly to remain a candidate. "I am committed to running the substantive, solutions-oriented campaign I set out to run earlier this spring," the Gingrich said in a posting to his Facebook page. "The campaign begins anew Sunday in Los Angeles." Rick Tyler, Gingrich's spokesman, said that he, campaign manager Rob Johnson and senior strategists had all quit, along with aides in the early primary and caucus states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Other officials said Gingrich was informed that his entire high command was quitting in a meeting at his headquarters in Washington. They cited differences over the direction of the campaign. "We had a different vision for victory," Tyler told The Associated Press. "And since we couldn't resolve that difference, I didn't feel I could be useful in serving him." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110609/ap_on_el_ge/us_gingrich_campaign He was pretty much out after he got caught telling the truth, but he's totally out he just won't admit it yet.. too bad.. so sad.. but now there's more room for Sarah. :'( Title: Re: Later Newt..

1994! Title: Re: Later Newt.. Post by: Howey on June 22, 2011, 05:02:38 pm I predict he'll be owing money to Tiffany's a hell of a lot longer than he'll have a presidential campaign! 1994! Hah! Right again! http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2011/06/newt-gingrich-tiffanys-debt-presidential-campaign/1 Quote Newt Gingrich, whose presidential campaign is reeling from staff departures and money woes, reportedly had a second line of credit for as much as $1 million at Tiffany and Co. The Washington Post reported Gingrich's financial disclosure report will show the second line of credit at the high-end jewelry store. The reports are due within a month of formal entry into the presidential race, and Gingrich announced May 11. Gee...I wonder why this (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/21/newt-gingrich-2012-campaign_n_881357.html) happened? Newt Gingrich's top two fundraising advisers resigned on Tuesday, and officials said the Republican candidate's hobbling presidential campaign carried more than $1 million in debt. Quote The departures of fundraising director Jody Thomas and fundraising consultant Mary Heitman were the latest blow for the former House speaker who watched 16 top advisers abandon his campaign en masse earlier this month, partly because of what people familiar with the campaign spending described as a dire financial situation. These people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the campaign inner workings, said the former Georgia lawmaker racked up massive travel bills but money had only trickled in since he got into the race earlier this spring. Stick a fork in him. He's done. Title: Re: Later Newt.. Post by: ekg on June 22, 2011, 08:37:08 pm well he served his purpose. He provided more hate to feed the masses for a good few months.
Joe Scarborough went off on him for saying Obama was "the opposite of freedom." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/17/joe-scarborough-goes-off-_n_879336.html but it was a little to late IMO. He and others should have been saying that from jump. Title: Re: Later Newt.. Post by: Howey on June 22, 2011, 08:56:10 pm We watch Morning Joe every morning. |
