Gingrich Storyline Collapses
John Avlon says that Newt Gingrich's narrative of a two-man race collapsed under Rick Santorum's trifecta win last night.
"Because right now, angry and almost broke, Newt is no longer the leading candidate to be the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. That man is Rick Santorum. And what makes Gingrich especially grumpy is that the man he is losing to was once just a pimply backbencher in the 1994 Republican Revolution... So for now Newt is left broke and unloved, facing the long road ahead with a raised fist. There probably will be better days ahead -- Super Tuesday offers southern states, and Newt has already proven his ability to rise from the political dead. But Rick Santorum just had his best night of the campaign. For all his faults, he has none of the personal baggage of Newt that might offend the faithful."

Here's a campaign that will be studied for the ages as one of the most bizarre yet "credible". This douchenozzle built his career on crapping on others...so much so his own party tried to exile him in '98, yet this Frankenstein continues to roam the earth. A bag of total contradictions and hypocrisies with meglomania tossed in...thinking he was smarter than everyone else. Too smart by half and half again...
As long as Millard can't seal the deal, Gneut remains "relevant" in this demolition derby. As long as he finds a sugar daddy to throw money at him, he'll remain a "viable" candidate. And as long as Gneut's huge ego exists he'll keep running cause he knows the moment he stops he will vanish from the stage he craves to play on. This is the culmination of his ambitions...his dreams of total power are in sight...just not quite within reach. The moment he calls it quits the moment all those dreams come crashing down...again.
The wildcard here is as long as Millard can't nail down the needed delegates to secure the nomination, Gneut along with Paul, Rectorum and anyone else who has delegates will be a player in this circus...and the further Gneut goes down the road, the more bombastic and demogaugic he becomes and burns even more bridges. But it doesn't look like he cares...this is his ultimate ego ride and he's gonna stay on it as long as he can...
