Newt Gingrich campaigned for the Presidential Election 2012, but failed to win the nomination. Here were his major mistakes:
- failure to qualify for the ballot in Virginia which generated enormous doubts about the viability of his campaign
- statement that not vote for Ron Paul if he won the Republican nomination, suggesting a lack of ability to cooperate
- overspending in an unsuccessful effort to compete in Florida, where the elderly voters were going to be influenced by the pro-Mitt Romney Fox News Channel
- poor response to Ron Paul's accusation that Gingrich is a "chicken hawk" - Gingrich should have emphasized that he opposes a draft and military service today is not compulsory, making the term inapplicable
- inability to point out how Rick Santorum was merely a stalking horse for Mitt Romney
