Technically, it’s an embarrassment any way you cut it.

Maybe he should sell some bling! MT: Newt Gingrich's $500 check to get on Utah GOP primary ballot bounced http://t.co/svX0KDSm

Newt Gingrich should work as the janitor at Utah's election commission to pay off his bounced check to them.

Newt Gingrich just bounced a check, and he feels he's the right man to run our country to get us out of debt???

Newt Gingrich's campaign is about $4.5 million in debt, and his $500 check to file for the Utah ballot has bounced. http://t.co/TqTt2IqY

So Newt's check bounced to get on UT Ballot. Gingrich had no chance of winning in Utah. But it reinforces how much more he needs to exit.

In a primary campaign filled with low points, Newt Gingrich's bounced check in Utah may be the most hilarious.

Newt on bounced check, per @AlexNBCNews: "It wasn’t that we didn’t have the money in the bank but that particular account had been closed"

The Hill:

GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich might fail to appear on the Utah primary ballot after a check for the required filing fee bounced, according to media reports.

The check for $500 bounced on March 27, Utah state election director Mark Thomas told ABC News, which first reported the story. “Our office immediately attempted to contact the campaign and the designated agent but no phone calls were returned,” said Thomas, according to ABC.

…The incident highlights fundraising woes for Gingrich who has struggled to raise money and win delegates, after his early victory in South Carolina’s first-in-the-nation primary. Gingrich trails front-runner Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, who exited the race Tuesday, in national polls.

It’s full circle for Newt.
