Via Politico: Could Newt pull off a Delaware upset?
While Romney has ignored it, Gingrich has spent most of his time recently in Delaware, a state with only 17 delegates that will be awarded on a winner-take-all basis in Tuesday night’s primary races, which also include Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York.
A Gingrich win in Delaware would do three things:
1. Encourage Gingrich to keep wasting money,
2. Encourage the cable news outfits to talk some horse race and,
3. Affect the overall fundamentals of the GOP nomination process not one whit.

Hah! This post has been up over seven hours, and not one comment. Even the OTB commenters don’t give a whit about a post which isn’t even worth a whit.
@John Peabody: I guess this is a microcosm of Newtmentum.
I care about OTB. I could not care less about Newt, nor do I have a compulsion to read anything about him, no matter the source.
Well… let me qualify that. I might read an obituary.
@John Burgess:
I enjoy mocking Newt though, so I did check this post several times hoping for some amusing snark in the comments.
