His troops have cut and run.
His opponents have stopped fighting. They have left him for dead.
The media have frittered away this remaining fifteen minutes of fame. There is nothing left for him to do but go off quietly into the sunset.
Newt Gingrich's campaign for the Presidency was dead in the water before he launched it.
How many slip-ups, follies, infidelities, and just plain tom-foolery did he think the American People would tolerate before passing over him once and for all?
We need real candidates to compete for the Republican nomination, statesman who learn from their mistakes, admit their faults, rise above populist sentiment, and engage the public with the pressing issues of our time.
Mr. Gingrich could not fulfill these duties as House Speaker sixteen years ago. Did he really delude himself into believing that he could impress anyone that he, an unrepentant womanizer, would be any different this time around?
