He has only himself to blame. The really sad part is that he really tried hard to reinvent himself as out of the mainstream conservative only to reinvent yourself again. Should have kept it real from the get go...good to see another fraud bite the dust.

He did go out with a bang though:

I think the turning point for him was when he didn't mix it with Romney during the first debate. He came off looking like a wimp which reinforced the nice guy perception.

Even if Palin gets in at this point, it's a three way race between Perry, Romney and Bachmann. My guess is either Jon Huntsman or Newt Gingrich will be the next casualties.

He did look like a little bitch against Romney.

Newt has a 2 inch gash on his neck...I really don't know how/why he is still standing. The will to be in the spotlight and sell his book is strong in him.
