williams. joe, let s talk about this. this is john brad bender saying 80s time for gingrich s supporters to get behind us, et cetera. is this the time? gingrich is certainly rejecting that out of hand. he s rejecting it out of hand because it seems like he s having a good time on the trail. he s been visiting zoos, talking policy, getting a scintilla of the attention he got even a couple months ago. it s long since time for him to have made his move one way or the other. longer he stays in, the more debt he s going to accrue. now seams like the time to fish or cut bait. the question is whether or not he s in the frame to hear that kind of talk and deal with it. it could reach a point where he had diminishing financial returns where it might hurt his future speaking income. that s right. or book income if he stays in the race to the point where he becomes a real either an obstacle or less than serious candidate. a liability. exactly. already, there are discussions about him be
