Rats deserting the S.S. Gingrich



Gingrich Senior Campaign Staff Resigns En Masse


Adding to Newt Gingrich's campaign trail woes, all of his senior campaign staff resigned this afternoon, according to Chris Cillizza and Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post, who report Gingrich's now-former spokesperson explaining it this way:

“When the campaign and the candidate disagree on the path, they’ve got to part ways,” said Rick Tyler, a longtime Gingrich spokesman who was among those who left the campaign today.

Tyler as well as Rob Johnson, Gingrich’s campaign manager, Dave Carney and Katon Dawson, senior strategists to the effort and media consultant Sam Dawson have all stepped aside. Much of his early state operation was also headed for the exits, according to a one senior campaign source.


Cillizza and Tumulty report sources telling them that the issue was a two-week vacation that the GOP presidential hopeful planned to take with his wife, Calista, against the advice of senior staff -- a rather perfect follow-up to the worst campaign roll-out ever (although, given Gingrich's history, they might have settled for being relieved that Gingrich planned to vacay with his current wife, and not a future one.) ...........(more)

2. Blingrich's message not catching on?
I can't understand why. Especially when you consider the competition, like Palin or Buchannan...

4. He won't last three weeks once primary season starts
If he even makes it that far. My prediction is that he'll be out before Thanksgiving.
