◼ "I am here with very fine competitors, but no opponents," Gingrich concluded. "We only have one opponent, and that's Barrack Obama." The audience absolutely loved it. - Byron York/Washington Examiner
In an organizational sense, Gingrich never really had much of a campaign. But he is a serious man who has accomplished big things in his life, and his presence made the race a more substantial affair. And it's fair to say Romney became a better candidate after facing the Gingrich challenge. Even those Republicans who never wanted Gingrich to win should be glad he ran.

Without Newt in the campaign there would have been no campaign.
