Newt's Top Fundraisers Call It Quits

Newt Gingrich’s campaign woes keep piling up: Now two top members of his finance team have departed. Fundraising director Jody Thomas and fundraising consultant Mary Heitman follow 16 other aides who left this month.

The exodus began about two weeks ago. (More Newt Gingrich stories.)
