Liv-,you may or may not know, these rumors started this morning because Newt called a press conference for tonight- instead of a “victory party”. Speculation was he might drop out because he had no events scheduled.
Ruined my day— until now. -:)
Thanks, I didn’t know...I didn’t really think he was expected to win NV, so I’m not surprised that it’s not a victory party. But I’m glad to hear the general consensus is that he is just redefining his strategy.
He said he’d fight on till the end, and I think he will.
If Gingrich was going to drop out, it doesn’t make sense timing-wise to be scheduled after an expected big showing for Romney. My thinking is possibly the presser was to divert Mitt’s thunder or find another excuse not to call and congratulate the winner ? Supporting Newt mostly as a protest vote, but he really is going to have to find a more mature game plan for these post defeat moments or the rumors of being too mentally unstable to play within systems of established protocol (like the presidency) will only intensify.
