Newt Gingrich Will Reassess His Plan To Declare Himself American Emperor
Newt, Newt, our hero Newt, what are you talking about? Weren't we supposed to ride this train all the way to Tampa and fuck shit up at the convention? Now you're saying you're going to reassess the campaign after tonight. Weak, Newt. The Newt of '78-'94 wouldn't have caved like this.ThatNewt would've castrated Mitt Romney with a T-Rex skull, on pay-per-view. And then he would've gotten thrown out of the speakership, but still... would've been awesome.
Newt, according to NBC News, will "reassess his candidacy depending on his finish in Delaware" tonight. Yeah, as ol' Lee Atwater maybe used to say, never drop out of a late-game national primary season until you've seen where Delaware lands, because it's sort of a kingmaker -- assuming more than zero people turn out. But sure, hinge it on a close Delaware primary that Romney doesn't care about at all if that helps you save face. Knowing Newt, though, "depending on his finish in Delaware" probably means he'll drop out if he wins and keep going if he loses.

Newt Gingrich Will Reassess His Plan To Declare Himself American Emperor
Newt never once declared himself "Emperor" Wonkette. You are all retarted.
Oh, he can&#039;t quit now. A walk-back, from ABC: <i>If Gingrich does poorly in Delaware, his campaign spokesman R.C. Hammond told Yahoo News, the former House speaker plans to &quot;reassess with supporters&quot; but won&#039;t immediately suspend his campaign.
In that scenario, &quot;Gingrich will keep his campaign schedule in North Carolina but reassess with supporters whether or not there is a path forward,&quot; Hammond said in an email.
If, however, Mitt Romney scores a &quot;razor thin win&quot; in Delaware, a &quot;conservative coalition&quot; could form around Gingrich, Hammond said.
And if Gingrich wins, the campaign will press forward, full speed ahead.</i>
