Following his razor-thin 29-point loss to Mitt Romney in Delaware last night — along with his somewhat, um, larger losses in other states — Newt Gingrich is thinking seriously about reassessing his position:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is expected to suspend his presidential campaign within the next week, according to a Republican operative familiar with the decision….“Over the next few days we’re going to look realistically at where we’re at,” Gingrich said in a speech in Concord Tuesday night. He said he would assess the race “as somebody who’s a unifier and somebody who’s realistic.”
That’s our Newt: a realist and a unifier. So maybe in a week or so he’ll announce that, you know, he could have won, but for the good of the party he’s dropping out. Because that’s just the kind of selfless, big-hearted guy that he is. Yeesh.
