    As mentioned in another thread, Gingrich bounced his check trying to get on the ballot in Utah's June 26 primary (the last of the season.) Why does he think he has any chance in a predominantly Mormon state where Mitt Romney has close connections?
    States choose the dates of their primaries for many reasons. Utah apparently chose the latest possible date just in case Romney or their former governor Jon Huntsman needed a few more delegates to clinch the nomination.
    Gingrich is almost out of campaign funds and has already lost in about 30 states getting large numbers only in the deep south. It's pointless to quit now but to devote any effort to the one state he never had a chance to win brings the question above to mind.

    I want Newt to debate Obuma. But there is no chance in hell he's going to get the nomination to do so. Time to bow out. I think he's simply milking it to sell more books.

    Its his last run as president so he's staying in till its not possible anymore. It will be good for a future book or speaking engagements.

    Let's try to name his remaining books.
    How to lose 48 primaries and caucuses.
    How to destroy a dynamic and promising political career.
    We should be back on the Moon by now.
    How the media destroyed the country.
    I told you Sharia law was coming.
    And, if he gets real old:
    Why I was the greatest president.

    Selling future books and contributing as a FOX person..is his only chance of wealth without actually working...or contributing sweat toward anything beneficial to society.
    At least Carter builds Homes for Humanity.

    To understand the eye of newt you must understand his psychology. The newt is only out to make as much money as he can for himself. He doesn't even care about his family as indicated by his many marital problems and wives. He has made a living off manipulating the ignorant and taking their money. And like most if not all politician who make a lot of money, they do it for the power of what money can do for them. You understand, them, and nobody else. It is pure greed and to them they have made ripping off others and manipulating others a moral idology only they can account for. In other words, they don't care about you, and will use you to their advantage.
