Just one line at the moment on CNN.

[cuban leaf]

Looks like I won’t be voting on the presidential part of the ballot. Hope we get a majority in the senate and obama has fun with full out obstructionism from the R’s.

It might be better than them working WITH Romney. Too many rino’s will let him do anything liberal, but they’d fight Obama simply because he’s obama. It may be the best course.

I said, MAY...

[DoughtyOne]

At least he held out until Santorum quit running. That was the important thing...

What a jackass!

[cotton1706]

Newt for press spokesman! At least for a year. That would be sweet!

[LUV W]

The most depressing headline I’ve seen in a long time. :(

[skeeter]

Newt, taking one for the team?

[Uncle Miltie]

[Diogenesis]

FOX News began this story.

In hours, FReepers will learn if this is yet
another dirty trick of Bishop Romney and his Legion.

[TheRobb7]

California and texas have been effectively disenfranchised....another choice has been removed from them.

Thiss is the what happened to me in 2008. Thompson dropped out before i could vote for him. All that were left were RINO.

[dps.inspect]

Rational Conservatism vs All-or-Nothing Conservatism... one lives to fight another day, the other packs their bags and harrumphs all the way home, can you guess which is which?

[arderkrag]

Looks like third party for me. I refuse to vote for either Marxist.

[kevcol]

I said, MAY...

It IS the best course IMO.

[tomkat]

Sources close to Newt Gingrich say ..

And that is Breaking News ? ? ?

He may well hang it up, but how about waiting for NEWT to announce it before starting your celebration ? !

[dfwgator]

We need a National Primary Day. The primary season is way too long, and relative few voters in small states decide whom the nominee will be before the bigger states even get a chance to have their say.

[andy58-in-nh]

Not everything is a conspiracy. Newt is simply out of money and out of time. You don’t have to like it, but it’s the truth.

[Hawthorn]

>> It might be better than them working WITH Romney. <<

Tell it to the Marines. Do think they would be better off “working with” Big Ø as CINC?

[RIghtwardHo]

E X A C T L Y

Voting for Romney would be the end of Conservatism.

Santorum 2012

[GonzoGOP]

Looks like I won’t be voting on the presidential part of the ballot.

If you're not going to vote anyway at least punch the ticket for the Green Party. If they get enough votes it might cause a split in the dems. Note how angry they got at Nader after Florida 2000.

[dps.inspect]

Rationality is baneful to some...

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, now that he’s the only person on the floor besides Romney, he drops out. What a class act! /s /s /s /s /s

Why didn’t he do this months ago?

“Oh, I’m in it all the way.” BULL S—T!

[Hawthorn]

>> Newt for press spokesman! <<

No, Newt’s own dream job is to be head of the National Zoo. Seriously!

[JaguarXKE]

Me neither - or I will write in Newt.

[arderkrag]

There’s nothing remotely rational about the ABO crowd.

[kevcol]

Looks like third party for me.

Are you telling me you would rather just let an abortionist, homo-agenda coddling, socialized healthcare advocating, amnesty-loving, gun grabbing, liberal judge appointing Marxist get a second term than vote for Mitt??? You need your head examined! /s

[Psalm 144]

Whether this headline is accurate or not makes no difference to me.

No Romney, no way, not ever.

[ConservativeStatement]

I would have enjoyed either Dick Cheney in 2008 or Newt Gingrich in 2012 to debate Barry. It would have been enjoyable to see him get an education...for the first time in his life that didn't come from a narrow-minded cohort.

[JaguarXKE]

What’s with the picture of Rachel Maddow?

[Hawthorn]

>> Not everything is a conspiracy. <<

Ah-ha! The fact that you would dare to say such a thing just PROVES that you too are a part of the vast leftwing disinformation conspiracy!

[arderkrag]

LOL!

[Psalm 144]

“Rationality is baneful to some...”

Whoring for leftist machines is attractive to some.

[Idaho_Cowboy]

If by Rational Conservatism you mean Romney then you need to study the definition of conservatism. Don't assume there is always another day to fight, how much Tyranny can America take? How many times have the rational conservative decided to give in and go home?

To everyone else, why believe these rumors when Newt himself said yesterday he was in till the end. Time will tell, but I'm betting whoever is behind this is just trying to discourage Gingrich's already flagging support.

[Evil Slayer]

What ever happened to the thread just below this one?

Gingrich to WCNC: 'We’ll continue to campaign'

[Longbow1969]

California and texas have been effectively disenfranchised....another choice has been removed from them.

Huh? If Newt made the ballot you will still be able to vote for him in California or Texas. Santorum's campaign has been suspended for awhile now and he still beat Newt in Pennsylvania last night.

Once candidates realize they have no chance to win they drop out. That is how it works. Why would Newt continue a campaign that he can't win? It takes money? Is he supposed to lie to donors and tell them there is a real chance? Most people will see through that and not give anymore anyway. So without money how is Newt supposed to campaign? No one was disenfranchised. If you live in California or Texas, and Newt made the ballot, you can still vote for him.

[altura]

Any chance we can come out of denial now?

[ReformationFan]

Since I know there’s no way on earth Maobama can win the electoral votes from the state I live in, I’m thinking of supporting this Constitution Party candidate-

[Diogenesis]

Exactly. This is probably a rumor started by
Brit Hume and Chris Wallace, both competing
to be Milt’s FOX-Bain Anchor-Wives-in-Training.

[RitaOK]

I think you are right about Romney’s own Marxist leanings getting a pass, simply because he isn’t Obama, whereas Obama would be opposed tooth and nail should we gain the numbers to do so.

I hear now that Romney is bringing in an openly quere guy as an advisor on military matters for the campaign.

Romney never bothered with going Right during the primary, so imagine the contest ahead, between him and Obama, seeing who can out-Left the other.

[jersey117]

There’s nothing remotely rational about the ABO crowd.

You sure have that backwards.

[dinodino]

Too bad. Guess I won’t cast a vote for a Presidential candidate.

[Evil Slayer]

And Ron Paul stays in all the way. Runs as third party and clinches it for Obama.

[altura]

I live in Texas and am still annoyed at the way we were screwed around on the primary date.

I shall, however, vote for the next president of the United States.

And I don’t mean the Green Paty.

[samtheman]

Not everything is a conspiracy. Newt is simply out of money and out of time. You don’t have to like it, but it’s the truth.

No fair making sense.

[philman_36]

When I see video of Newt himself saying it I’ll pay attention.

[txrangerette]

Jackass = Santorum.

[andy58-in-nh]

You got me. ;-)

[EternalVigilance]

All principled conservatives are welcome here:

[DoughtyOne]

Did Newt have a chance to win and Santorum refuse to drop out even though Newt had twice as many delegates? Ah..., NO!

If Santorum is a Jackass, what does that make Newt, a Jackass to the X?

[gimme1ibertee]

So,what of a brokered convention? Couldn't Newt pull off the nomination that way? If such a miracle happened,it would be terrific,astounding,wonderful,et cetera.
I'm trying to be realistic and I WANT 0BAMA GONE. Unless something else happens,i'm planning to hold my nose and vote.
I'm not staying home,and i'm not writing anyone in.Who knows what will happen between now and November? Let's wait and see. Meanwhile,let's do all we can to get that rat bastard out of office and send his miserable ass packing.

[silverleaf]

Newt: 7 more days of 5 star room service and giving speeches to adoring crowds, then back to punditry and book selling
