The Slow and Tragic Death of Gingrich’s Campaign

Gail Collins’ op-ed in today’s New York Times is a slightly funny look at the end of the Gingrich campaign, a look at the state of the Presidential race today and what Romney will be doing in 2013. Hint, it’s not sitting in the White House. Oh yeah, there’s an interesting quip about Delaware in the column as well.

The crushing blow was the Delaware primary, where the Gingrich campaign had hoped to win a dramatic come-from-behind victory under the theory that only a couple of Republicans would actually vote and that they would be the same people who once nominated Christine O’Donnell for the Senate.

Unfortunately, a whopping 16 percent of the eligible electorate showed up, way too big a crowd for the fragile Gingrich candidacy to withstand.
