We hardly knew ye. No wait, we knew you only too well. That’s why you lost. Badly.

But G’bye anyway. Buh-bye.

We need to understand. The GOP got the best candidate even theoretically available. No one who ran or who didn’t run was even close.

finally gives notice that he is going to leave. Good.

Look, I’m glad that Gingrich is going to (at least nominally) support Romney, and that is a dang sight better than Santorum (which shocks me). But Gingrich was never a good option…

for Newt. Good. You wonder if those who vote for Newt are smart enough to breathe on their own…

Delaware upset? Would anyone really care? It might buy him 15 minutes of fame and Romney 30 minutes of pain, but honestly, who gives a rat’s patoot? It would be forgotten in a nanosecond. Gingrich is a loser, in ALL senses of that word. The idea that he is a conservative is a sick joke. Only a great fool would buy that. And even a fool wouldn’t believe it. Only those without the mental facilities to regulate core temperature and sense pain would believe it.

Gingrich to go, too.

He won’t, and he has pretty much become irrelevant anyway. But no one cares what he is doing, and I don’t think him dropping out would make one iota of difference. He will ride the gravy train for as long as is humanly possible. Him staying in is a testament to greed and delusion.

Gingrich delenda est

bows out. But as is typical for him, he was utterly graceless.

I think it is the end for Rick Santorum. He will never be a player again. Romney kicked his trash, and he ought to have the class to admit it. But he doesn’t. Romney would likely have beat him in his home state of Pennsylvania, which would have been incredibly embarrassing for Santorum.

it.

Was there ever a more obvious prediction? Maybe a more obvious one is that the U.S. is heading over a financial cliff and yet Obama and the dems fiddle while the U.S. burns…

it seems like things are starting to change. I certainly sense a change in the wind. Even when Gingrich was riding high, I had the sense that it was a very short-term situation. I never thought his latest boomlet might take off. I thought the Rick Santorum boomlet would be shorter, but it is the last one, and it therefore is likely to last longer. But he shouldn’t be confused in thinking that this somehow means that people like his message. That would be an easy mistake to make, and it is a bad one. It will end, and in the not too distant future.

If Romney were to beat Santorum in his (Santorum’s) home state of PA, it would both be really embarrassing and be the formal end of his campaign. Good. It can’t end soon enough. On to Obama!

Very interesting, indeed.

Why would you take a 4-day vacation in the middle of a primary fight (assuming you’re not Newt Gingrich)? Seems pretty odd. Perhaps he has some thinking to do…

Santorum and Gingrich.

Game over.
