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

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.
