Primary Day Already a Disaster for Newt Gingrich

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD - MAY 11:  Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich prepares to address the Republican National Committee's State Chairman's meeting at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center May 11, 2010 in National Harbor, Maryland. The former Georgia politician and college professor talked to the assembled GOP leaders about how the 2010 election will "change America." Saying that President Barack Obama rammed through healthcare reform using a political "machine," Gingrich said, "We dont' need to understand it. We need to defeat it and replace it with people who are about America."  (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

Even though his continued presence in the GOP race is clearly just an excuse to visit zoos around the country on Sheldon Adelson's dime, a planned Gingrich campaign stop at the Birmingham Zoo today has been canceled "as a precaution after reviewing weather reports," according to a Gingrich press release.
