    Gingrich Campaign Running on Fumes - Bounces $500 Check/Primary Filing Fee

    Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich may not appear on the ballot for the June 26 Utah primary, after a $500 check - the required filing fee - bounced, an official said.

    State election director Mark Thomas told ABC News that a $500 check given by the Gingrich campaign to secure his place on the Utah ballot bounced on March 27.

    "Our office immediately attempted to contact the campaign and the designated agent but no phone calls were returned," Thomas said. "We also asked the state Republican Party to assist us, but they also could not get into communication with them, although I do not know how they attempted to contact them."

    How long will it be before Gingrich joins Santorum and drop out of the race?

    Gingrich is just being as fiscally conservative with his campaign as he was during his time in the House.

    He's running a deficit?
    He's fit to be the Republican candidate.

    And in yet another act of desperation...

    Newt Gingrich: ‘CNN is less biased than Fox’

    In what some might consider an act of GOP political suicide, Newt Gingrich slammed Fox News earlier this week, saying that the cable news channel has favored Mitt Romney throughout the 2012 Republican race--and that CNN has been the more "fair-and-balanced" network this cycle.

    "I think Fox has been for Romney all the way through," Gingrich said during a meeting with Tea Party leaders in Delaware on Wednesday, according RealClearPolitics.com, which said it was granted access to the private event. "In our experience, Callista and I both believe CNN is less biased than Fox this year. We are more likely to get neutral coverage out of CNN than we are of Fox, and we're more likely to get distortion out of Fox. That's just a fact."
    Even though Newt's 100% correct... it's amazing to see him spout this fact, at this moment. Desperation.

    No money in the bank account, not returning calls, I'd say he's already dropped out, Sheldon Adelson said Newt doesn't have a chance, so I doubt he'll write another check, and Sheldon doesn't like Romney(completely incapable of making a decision, not fit to be president) and he didn't want Santorum to be president of his country
