Newt Gingrich remains confident his campaign will continue for months ahead no matter what happens in the Florida primary today.
“I’m not going to lose big here,” Gingrich told reporters about the election today. He added this campaign has a long road ahead: “I would say probably six months -- probably June or July -- unless Mitt Romney drops out earlier.”
Romney has taken what appears to be a commanding lead in the Sunshine State, according to polls, but the former House Speaker still believes he has a shot here.
“The early vote will all look very good for Romney, because it’s the absentees, where he spent millions of dollars before we got here,” Gingrich told reporters outside a polling location at First Baptist Church of Windermere. “We have had huge number of phone calls, tremendous amount of volunteers, and I want to see what happens tonight.” advertisement
Many wonder how Gingrich can continue if he loses in Florida -- a state heavily coveted by the Republicans in the general election. Fundraising will be key if the former Speaker hopes to take his campaign through to the convention. The campaign announced today on Twitter that it raised about $10 million in the final quarter of 2011 and has already raised $5 million in the month of January.
Gingrich has one message for anyone who doubts him after having written him off back in June and July and after Iowa as being “dead.”
“They are about as accurate as they have been the last two times they were wrong,” Gingrich said. (snip)

How much will be spent by Romney per vote?
WOO HOO Go Newt!
Ha! Now that’s funny!
Yesterday he said he was going to win and now he says he is going to lose. Why does he need to say anything. Wait until the results are known. He may still win.
Whoohoo...gotta love it!
Looks like he are the change that we have been waiting for.
(Play on Ubama's "We are the change that we have been waiting for.")
I heard somewhere that Romney may have spent 25 million in Floria alone... the question I want to know the answer too... how much money does Romney have left?
No one is asking Romney how much money he still has on hand
Mittens may have to raid another Cayman Islands account.
Go Newt! Take this burning plane all the way to the ground and make Karl Rove whine like a school girl!
I’d rather lose with Newt, than win with Mitt Obamney.
Wait until the results are known. He may still win.
*************
Naps, that’s just what he says in the article— He’s saying- if he doesn’t win, he’s not going to lose big as the polls are predicting.
Heehee, Newt is continuing to dig in.
Romney dropped out 2 days after Super Tuesday...
That was the 1st week of Feb in 2008
This time ST will be a month later March 6...
Early voting starts in TN Feb 15...
Hopefully the Huckabee voters will vote then before Romney can do much damage...
Romney didnt win this Conservative state last time...
“Unless Mitt Romney drops out earlier.”
concur - great line
Mittens may have to raid another Cayman Islands account.

Now, now, you can’t say that. Rush and the GOP-e will say your “anti-capitalist”. /s
What you said.
A lot of Romney Florida voters think tomorrow is election day. That is what’s getting retweeted.
Let's let all the states have a say in who the nomination is!!
Why hasn't someone thought of this before?
