Nuked Gingrich, Part 4

In more "his campaign is over before it started" news, several senior Newt Gingrich (remember him?) campaign staffers have resigned in a massive desertion that all but seals the deal that Newtie is done.  Chris Cillizza:

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign imploded Thursday afternoon with virtually his entire senior staff leaving en masse, according to multiple sources familiar with the moves.

“When the campaign and the candidate disagree on the path, they’ve got to part ways,” said Rick Tyler a longtime Gingrich spoksman who was among those who left the campaign today.

Tyler as well as Rob Johnson, Gingrich’s campaign manager, Dave Carney and Katon Dawson, senior strategists to the effort and media consultant Sam Dawson have all stepped aside. Much of his early state operation was also headed for the exits, according to a one senior campaign source.

And more than a few of Newt's crew are former staffers from other Republicans:

Carney and Johnson are longtime aides to Texas Gov. Rick Perry who has said in recent days that he is contemplating a run for president himself in 20120. The Carney and Johnson resignations will fuel speculation that Perry is moving toward the race.

Newt out, Mr. "Texas should secede from the union" in?  This should be good.
