Well, here’s one primary Newt Gingrich won’t be missing. Gingrich’s campaign reports that it has turned in enough signatures to appear on the primary ballot in Delware. The contest is scheduled for April 24.
The take on th news from the Gingrich release:
Delaware is has a winner-take-all Presidential Primary that will award 17 delegates. This is the first Republican Party in many decades that has the potential to be down to the wire with delegates and the 17 votes going to Delaware’s winner could be the margin of victory. Speaker Gingrich also recognizes this and will not be overlooking the First State. “We need big change in Washington if we are to return America to job creation and economic growth again,” said Gingrich. “This campaign is about unleashing the American people to rebuild the America we love. I look forward to bringing this message to the people of Delaware.”
Gingrich failed to get the signatures needed to appear on the Missouri or Virginia ballots. The latter contest, taking place in the state where Gingrich actually lives, is a particulary stinging loss for the former House Speaker, who’s said he hopes to use his connection to the south to pick up momentum after losing a string of contests to both Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum.
