Newt Gingrich hints he may quit

Newt Gingrich hinted that he might withdraw from the presidential race if he performed poorly in the Delaware primary on Tuesday, according to MSNBC.

On Monday, Gingrich told NBC News, "I think we need to take a deep look at what we are doing. We will be in North Carolina tomorrow night and we will look and see what the results are."

Gingrich has been campaigning heavily in Delaware, a winner-take-all state which has 17 delegates to award. He acknowledged that he would need to "reassess" his campaign depending on the results in Delaware, MSNBC reported.

Gingrich's campaign is $4.3 million in debt based on Federal Election Commission filings, according to ABC News, and in recent weeks he has received attention primarily for bouncing a check and being bitten by a penguin.

Despite only winning two states so far, South Carolina and Georgia, Gingrich said he was "committed to staying in this race all the way to Tampa so that the conservative movement has a real choice," after his rival Rick Santorum dropped out two weeks ago, according to Politico.

Delaware will join Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York in holding a primary on Tuesday.

Despite indicating that he would need to reassess his campaign, Gingrich warned, "It is very dangerous for frontrunners to start behaving like they are inevitable because the voters might decide that’s not so true. Frankly, I think it is a mistake for Romney to kick-off his general election campaign tomorrow in New Hampshire," according to MSNBC.

Delaware state Sen. Liane Sorenson, who endorsed Romney, said of Gingrich, "He’s definitely got a chance because there are some people who feel like he really made an attempt to come to Delaware," according to Politico.
