| Gingrich staying in presidential race after campaign staff walkout |
| 2011-06-12 |
| [Beirut Daily Star] Newt Gingrich is vowing to remain in the presidential race despite the walkout of his entire senior campaign staff. But whether he remains a viable candidate is in serious doubt. Already, his opponents in the Republican field are scrambling to capitalize on the upheaval, courting disillusioned Gingrich donors and picking off campaign supporters of the former speaker of the House of Representatives. Shortly after news of the Gingrich staff exodus broke Thursday, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty was trumpeting word that one of Gingrich's national co-chairmen -- former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue -- had jumped ship and joined Pawlenty's White House campaign. Two top staffers who decamped Gingrich's campaign -- including campaign manager Rob Johnson -- have close ties to Rick Perry, ramping up speculation that the brash Texas governor could jump into the unsettled Republican race. Perry has so far said only that he is considering a White House bid. Other contenders for the party's nomination to take on President Barack B.O.Obama in next year's election include former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Sen. Rick Santorum, Rep. Ron Paul and former Utah Gov Jon Huntsman, who had been Obama's ambassador to China. Among the potential candidates who have not declared their intentions is Sarah Mama GrizzlyPalin, ... the babe libs love to hate ... the Republican 2008 vice presidential candidate. |

| #10 The Ruling Elite and their minions (the media) are terrified if her. And by Ruling Elite I mean both Donks and Rinos. The Media are terrified of her because she won't bend to their will like the other Pols. She 'falls into their traps' because she doesn't play their games. The elite are afraid of her because she's not a product of, and anoited by, an Ivy League University. How DARE She! |

| #8 "Lots more do" I hope you were correct. Check into this and I think you will find this is what is happening. Just do your own survey of women you know. I believe you will be surprised how conservative women respond. Be prepared for action. |

| #6 JohnQC Hello. I have enjoyed you posts today. I like Palin. She is true blue. Women don't like her, the left are afraid of her and the media hates her. Family, God and Country. That's Sara. |

| #5 Nearly 40% of the jobs being created in the U.S. are being created in Texas according to FN. Perry may be a candidate who can win and get us off of the "stuck on stupid" position we are currently in. |

| #2 We'v got an egomaniac in the WH now. Don't need another. I think he is almost as politically dead as Weiner. Who's left that looks good and can win: Cain, Pawlenty, Romney, Perry, Jindal Bachmann, Jendal, Palin, Santorum, Paul, Barbour Johnson, Thune? |

| #1 He has an ego that is too big to recognize reality. Good Lord I am glad he is gone (hoped for outcome). |
