Too Legit To Quit

There is no reason in the world for Speaker Gingrich to quit the nomination race. He considers
himself an historian. He is a writer. He does the work lobbyists often do. Even if donations dry
up, aren't these historical circumstances in the first campaign since the 'citizens united' debacle?
Won't the former speaker want to write the book on what the entire race encompassed from his somewhat jaundiced point of view? Won't he continue to be exposed to events and interactions, maybe bad today but fortuitous tomorrow, that the remainder of the 300,000,000 million of us will not be eyewitness to- ever?
I don't see a person quitting under these circumstances, especially a person I disagree with so
strongly.
He may continue to say goofy things for months.
He can enhance the personal standing of engagement he has in his own life; and at the same time give democratic candidates in many races, very clear positions to counter. At this moment,
he is giving both democrats and republicans clear positions to counter or espouse.
The republican party can take care of itself. Newt Gingrich is not its keeper to the point where he submerges his self-interest for someone else's view of what would give the party establishment what their hearts desire. Individuals in the U.S. are not Russians of the former U.S.S.R.
