Seriously Newt, nobody even misses you. Just go away already. You don't need to hold a press conference to announce that you've decided the nomination is unattainable, everybody has known that for months now. Oh, by the way, if there were another candidate even slightly more viable than Rmoney you wouldn't have lasted nearly as long as you did.
