An inauspicious start to his campaign over 'strategic disagreements'. It may not be a death blow, but it is clearly problematic.

"Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on Friday blamed a mass exodus from his campaign team on a "strategic" disagreement with staff and pledged to step up a campaign aimed at unifying Americans.

The former House of Representatives speaker's hopes of winning the 2012 Republican presidential nomination suffered a body blow on Thursday when his campaign manager, spokesman and senior strategist abandoned the already sputtering campaign.

Leaders of his operations in the early voting states of New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina and Gingrich's home state of Georgia also resigned."
