Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich’s campaign manager, senior strategists and key aides in early delegate-selection states all resigned today, a mass exodus that leaves his hopes of winning the Republican nomination in tatters. Rick Tyler, Gingrich’s spokesman, says he, campaign manager Rob Johnson and senior strategists resigned, along with aides in the early primary and caucus states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Other officials say Gingrich was informed that his entire high command was quitting in a meeting earlier in the day. They cited differences over the direction of the campaign but were not more specific. The officials declined to be identified by name, saying they were not authorized to discuss private conversations. Gingrich told the group he intends to stay in the race.
