Long story short: Newt is an asshole. One of the most off-putting, arrogant, condescending personalities I've ever encountered. To meet him is to dislike him.
His run will be mercifully short once the good people of Iowa and New Hampshire get the chance to realize this.
Well, it looks like I got that wrong. It now seems that the people Newt really needed to win over were not the voters of NH and Iowa, but his own staff:
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.
If it seems like I am enjoying this, it's because I am.

you know what is a shame in all this? newt is likely one of the most skilled and knowledgable statesmen this country has, a type who should be a shoe-in for the presidency.
but it takes more, and usually much less, than that to actually become president.
"newt is likely one of the most skilled and knowledgable statesmen this country has,"
I assure no one would agree with you more on this point that Newt Gingrich.
