'National Review' calls on Gingrich to quit race

By Catalina Camia, USA TODAY
Updated 2h 15m ago

The influential National Review magazine is calling on Newt Gingrich to leave the GOP presidential race.

In an editorial titled "Santorum's turn," the magazine founded by iconic conservative William F. Buckley Jr. makes the case that the GOP nomination fight "could be headed" to one between the former Pennsylvania senator and Mitt Romney.

National Review, which has taken Gingrich to task before, says it "would be a grave mistake for the party to make someone with such poor judgement and persistent unpopularity its presidential nominee."

There is plenty more he can do for the demise of the GOP.

And still make millions for himself in the process.

Saying that his "Ted Baxter" approach to politics wasn't effective, they have called on Gingrich to drop out of the human race and return to whatever alien space colony he came from.
