UPDATE: The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama says their ad buy in Nevada currently stands at five figures, with the spots going up in the Las Vegas, Reno and Pahrump markets. They say they hope to expand the ad buy if fundraising allows.
(CNN) An independent conservative group associated with the tea party movement says it's backing former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for the Republican presidential nomination.
The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama, which touts itself as one of the nation's largest conservative activist organizations, emailed supporters Sunday to "announce our endorsement of Newt Gingrich for President. We are proud to join Herman Cain, Gov. Rick Perry, Michael Reagan and many others who have recognized that in this race for president, Newt Gingrich is clearly the conservative choice who can defeat Barack Obama."

The group also says they'll go up with TV and radio ads in Nevada to support Gingrich's bid for the GOP nomination. Nevada holds its caucuses on Saturday. In their email to supporters, the group asked for contributions to help purchase airtime for the TV and radio spots.
The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama is, as the name implies, dedicated to trying to defeat the president in the 2012 election. The group was launched by the Our Country Deserves Better Committee, a conservative political action committee that's also the parent organization of the Tea Party Express, one of the leading national tea party groups. The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama is now a separate entity.
