Newt Gingrich's campaign staff resigns en masse

He goes on vacation to the Greek Islands, and his staff jumps ship.

Wow.
Quote:
Newt Gingrich’s top staff quit en masse Thursday, throwing into question whether his already troubled presidential campaign can continue.

Two sources close to the situation confirmed that campaign manager Rob Johnson, strategists Sam Dawson and Dave Carney, spokesman Rick Tyler, and consultants Katon Dawson in South Carolina and Craig Schoenfeld in Iowa have all quit to protest what one called a “different vision” for the campaign.

"A different vision" = they found out some secret that they realized made him completely unelectable. Professional politicos just don't quit over philosophical ideals.

I agree Clodfobble. I heard that they were upset by his behavior, two examples on the radio I heard were a $250,000 tab run up at Tiffany's and a cruise to the Greek Islands. I think Newt is smart, but I have serious differences with his opinions and methods.
