Sigh.
Sad to say but would bet that Cain, Perry, Palin, Sowell and others will support Romney over Obama IF it comes to that
It's WAY too early !
They cut out 90% of what Newt said... he also said that he has not won it yet and he (Newt) is in it to win it.
LLS

The AP just doesn’t get it. The more they push Mitt, the less we like him. About Newt, what was he supposed to say, that he WON’T support the nominee? Why doesn’t someone ask Romney if he would support Newt if HE wins the nomination? What about Rick? Would Romney support Rick if he won the nomination? These are loaded questions only asked to imply that the others support Mitt. All they have said is that they would support the nominee (whoever it turns out to be). Romney is trying to turn it into an endorsement and it will backfire on him.
That being said, Newt saying this now, could be a sign that he is about out of the race, and he knows the probable outcome.
And Romney will still lose.
I suspect most republican candidates of the past and present would do the same. Nothing new about that.
Newt has said for awhile that he would support any of the others, over the One. He also said which the AP cuts out, that he is not going to stop until Romney gets 1144 delegates. I think Newt should stay in the event one of the others have a major outing of an unknown. Newt has to stay in and talk about the issues. No other candidate is taking Obama on one to one. Romney says we cannot be too critical of Obama. Newt cannot say that he does not want Romney as the nominee if it came to that point-he has to keep it presidential as well as coming across as positive not resentful. The media is trying to keep Newt off his message and keep him on this.
Newt is a wise man. He recognized the perils of more appointments to SCOTUS similar to Kagan, Sotomayor & Ginsburg. That will screw this country for minimum 30 more years.
SoreLoserman-ism while the nation implodes is not an option, and is a disservice to American Patriots before us. Honor their memory by voting and holding our representatives’ feet to the fire.
I heard Newt say this on the radio, yesterday.
DC cannot be rolled back.
Newt also told Truman Caputo he would consider being Romney’s V.P. if asked. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Newt spent his career rebuilding the Republican party. He’s a party loyalist. He savaged Bush, Sr. for raising taxes but supporting him in the general election. He called Dole tax collector for the welfare state but supported him in the general election. You do have to admire him for looking past the personal attacks Romney conducted against him and believing there is a more important cause, defeating Obama.
