Not Now Newt

Newt Gingrich, one of the wayward lambs vying for the GOP Presidential nomination, has closed his (or perhaps more aptly, his wife's) revolving line of credit with jeweler to the stars, Tiffany & Co. in an attempt to reinvigorate his flagging campaign. It is too little, too late for the 2012 cycle. Mr. Gingrich will never gain the United States Presidency not because of his taste in stones, but because he alienated his presumptive conservative base twice, first by working with liberal Democrats on health care and then by making a commercial on man-caused global climate change with Nancy Pelosi. Gingrich might as well open an account at Cartier because the Right is shouting, "Not now Newt, not ever."
