No, he will not get out of the race. He's a demagogue and an egomaniac. He'll spend every last cent of his contributors' money.

Hamburgers? and fries?

Waiting for a VP candidate slot ?

Successful Presidents seem to select VP's that are at the opposite spectrum in terms of age and where they fit into their party. It's how you capture that large wing.

Failed candidates don't do a good job at that.

Well he better have a comfortable chair to wait in because that ain't going to happen...EVER.

I agree. Nobody is going to want Newt's baggage on their train.

He may not even need positive cash flow. His campaign has significant debt, very little cash, and his super PAC sugar daddy has cut him off and according to some reports gone over to Romney.
Whatever cash he can put together in California this week is probably enough to help him campaign in some southern states, maybe eek out another win like Oklahoma.

This is the guy who doesn't make courtesy concession calls, so he'll probably never officially drop out, just fade away.

Has his wife hidden that diamond necklace? out of his reach? Bet he's sorry he spent the money...then I have no idea what his net worth is.

Why do they right and left keep calling Cinton Mr. President?

Why do the GOPs continue to call Newt "Mr. Speaker?" He is not Speaker of the House, he is a former Speaker of the House who was forced to resign because his own party would not support him.

He violated tax law (a felony) and lied to the House panel investigating him. He also had a hard time knowing the difference between campaign funds and his own money. He was an embarrassment to the nation and his party.

I notice that GOPs will not offer the same honorific to former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who completed her time in the Speaker's chair without committing felonies and ethical lapses. But she did commit the unforgivable sin of being female, moderate and a Democrat.

Because they don't want a funk bomb a-dropped on them?

The same reason they call Carter, Bush I and Bush II "Mr. President."

It's not just incorrect but also disrespectful to the current president to call anyone but him "Mr. President." It's "Mr. so and so" for those other guys. As we've mentioned, the media makes this mistake all the time, but that doesn't make it correct. We remember that they were once president, for better or worse. Don't need the reminder.
