[history]
ORLANDO, Florida - Newt Gingrich's campaign announced Tuesday it raised $5 million dollars in January on top of the $10 million raised last quarter, however aides would not indicate how much cash the campaign has on hand -- a critical number for determining whether they can make it through the summer as the former speaker has pledged to do.
This weekend the candidate told Bloomberg News that his campaign was down to approximately $600,000 cash on hand and spending money as quickly as they get it. Since then spokesman R.C. Hammond has said the candidate misspoke and the $600,000 was referring to the amount the campaign had entering the South Carolina primary and they have since raised $2.5 million in money bombs.
However, when pressed, Hammond was unwilling to give a figure for how much cash they have right now.
Gingrich dropped by a polling station at First Baptist Church of Windermere for his first stop on primary day, shaking hands with voters and swarmed by cameras. Mitt Romney has taken a double digit lead in polls leading up to Tuesday but Gingrich told reporter he didn't expect to "lose big" here.

American Patriots of 2012 ... today in Florida, and across America .... from sea to shining sea .... we stand at the Crossroads of Destiny ...
We have ALEADY won today's "political battle" ... regardless of how the final Florida votes are tallied tonight ...
Why ?
Because as in "Lord of the Rings" ... the call to battle and Honor and Glory have (indeed) been answered ... from Patriots across this great land we call "America" ...
A gallant Call to Arms ... to Liberty, to preserve the Land that John Paul Jones defended as he cried-out "We Have Not Yet Begun to Fight" ...
Henry V ... in his St. Crispin's day Speech ... stood on the same kind of earth we see today ...
To the Ann Coulters, and her traitorous breed ... the Nikki Haleys, Mark Steyns, Bob Doles, Chris Christies ....
We "American Patriots" respond with:
"The (Traitor's) passport shall be made, and crowns for convoy put into their purse ...
"We would not die in their company whose fellowship they fear to die with us" ...
Let's us resolve ... this day ... to WIN the BATTLE for America's Renaissance of Liberty, Prosperity ... and Discovery to the Stars created by The Almighty ...
God Bless America !

Georgia has more delegates than Florida.
Keep the faith. Rominee is not even close to the nomination.
Damn the lamestream and the establishment!
Rebellion is on and it’s ours!
Newt has the TEA PARTY!
Pray, work for Newt, vote for Newt, and send him money, whenever we can.

win or lose it's only 50 delegates. That needs to be put into perspective.

Newt has GOT to stay in this race!! I seriously don’t think I could march into the voting booth and vote for Romney. Our PA primary is April 20th....we are backing Speaker Gingrich, case closed! Romney, in my opinion will spend millions if necessary to win this GOP nomination. We have a fractured party and the Paul supporters are hungry for him as well!! But BHO has a billion dollar war chest to win a second term....it’s a frightening thought indeed!

Newt knows that America hangs in the balance (Romney just wants the presidency for his church).
Stay strong Newt, stay strong!

That is what this entire election is about, Romney has gone all in and that is a huge amount of $$$$$$$
To: RoosterRedux
Romney has an insatiable lust for the presidency. It’s for his church?
Heretofore, I thought it was to avenge his father and a sheer grab for power!!

The presidency is a dream come true for the LDS. And the LDS is RICH!!!
Romney has unlimited funds available to purchase the presidency for the LDS.
Once they have it (knowing they can purchase it)...why would they ever let it go?
