Here is some social-media-meets-politics-meets-reporters who used to work in Delaware News. The Newt Ginigrich campaign has finally figured out why their awesome candidate isn't taking off. It is the stupid national press and their stupid habit of constantly asking Gingrich questions about his stupid candiacy.

Delaware Democratic Party Calls On GOP Candidates To Announce Endorsements (WILMINGTON, DE) – Ahead of Newt Gingrich’s scheduled visit to Hockessin on Monday, the Delaware Democratic Party wonders which out-of-touch candidate our own Republicans support. “It’s clear the GOP nominee won’t be decided by Delaware’s April 24th Primary,” said Executive Director Joe Aronson. “So we wonder, who do Delaware Republicans support for the nomination?

Also, have no desire to turn into some kind of obsessed crazy person on this topic.

It is a given that Romney will be the GOP's nominee this year, so who will be willing to "take one for the team" and go down in flames? Romney/Santorum: No. Rick will be looking to 2016 and I doubt that creating "party unity" is going to be on his agenda. 0% Romney/Huntsman: Too sane. Also, an all LDS ticket? Not so likely. 0% Romney/Bachmann: A crazy conservative woman to make Romney seem sane while winning back women who hate women? 1% Romney/Gingrich: The most hated man in America? We...

Mitt Romney recently had this to say about the documentary on Obama's first term directed by Davis Guggenheim:
“I’ll give you some help, Mr. Guggenheim,” Romney said, according to the Los Angeles Times. “You can make a call to some of the moms that are having a hard time paying for gas as they get their kids to and from school and practice and music lessons. And you can also talk to the people who are having a hard time getting to and from work, given the price of gasoline.”
