Fundraising had become problematic among both small donors and major contributors after Gingrich's appearance on Meet the Press, according to a source close to Gingrich who didn't want to be identified because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly. He said some advisers were dismayed when Gingrich chose to take the strategic advice of his wife, Callista, over their own.
One final straw: Gingrich's decision to go on a long-planned cruise with Callista in the Greek isles for the past two weeks rather than stay in the USA and campaign.
In the latest Gallup Poll, Gingrich's support among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents didn't reach double digits. At 9%, he trailed former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (at 17%), former Alaska governor Sarah Palin (15%) and Texas Rep. Ron Paul (10%).
