Guess he's delusional enough to think he still has a chance.

Gingrich campaign charges $50 for photos

(CNN) ? Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich?s campaign tacked on a new fundraising effort Monday, charging supporters $50 a pop for anyone who wants a photo with the former House speaker.
?Some campaigns make you travel all the way to Wall Street to pay $2,500 for a photo with a candidate,? campaign spokesman R.C. Hammond said in a statement. ?We chose to do it differently and ask our supporters for a nominal donation.?
Gingrich campaigned in Delaware on Monday, continuing his march to collect more delegates in the Republican presidential nominating contest. The state holds its primary on April 24.
The new photo charge comes one week after numbers released by the campaign showed the candidate spent about $200,000 more in February than he raised, and carries about as much debt as cash on hand.
His fundraising haul of $2.6 million for the month marked a big drop from January, when he took in $5.6 million.
?We also have an online store where supporters can buy hats, shirts and even a bandana for your dog,? Hammond said.
