Newt Gingrich's Buckhead office was cleaned out and locked up Thursday afternoon mere hours after his campaign staff resigned en masse.

All that was left were some "Newt 2012″ bumper stickers and some artifacts of campaigns past.

Gingrich press spokesman Rick Tyler told the Associated Press that he has resigned along with campaign manager Rob Johnson, senior strategists and aides in key early primary states. No one was in Gingrich's Buckhead quarters to answer reporters' questions.
