While on Capitol Hill Wednesday evening, 2012 hopeful Newt Gingrich acknowledged the struggle his campaign went through during its early days.
“As some of you know, we had a fairly tough couple months this summer,” Gingrich said, quipping, “The campaign wasn’t as much fun as we had planned.”
Gingrich has had a steady rise in popularity since the campaign’s start, which was marred by reports that a large portion of his staff abandoned the campaign and that the Gingriches owed over a quarter of a million to jewelers Tiffany & Co.
