“Obama had raised about $89 million for his own re-election campaign. That’s nearly 31 times the amount Gingrich raised during the same period. It’s even more than 2.7 times the amount raised by Romney…”
While he has surged in recent polls, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich may be missing one key ingredient for making a late-stage power play for the GOP presidential nomination: money.
In years past, political candidates have certainly been erroneously written off by pundits and the press. Notably, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was widely thought to have fizzled long before he ultimately surged back to life and snagged the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2008.
