Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich hinted Sunday that if rival Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney loses the primary election in his home state of Michigan, he should drop out of the race.
If he loses his home state, I dont see what he says the next morning to his donors to stay in the race, Mr. Gingrich told Fox News Sunday.
If Mr. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, cant win his home state in a primary election, how can he beat President Obama in Michigan, which typically votes with the Democrats, Mr. Gingrich asked.

The Newt is right—as always. Romney Must take his home state or go home.
we will see if newt is a man who walks his talk if he loses georgia....lol i made a funny
LOL. Well, I reckon Romney can always claim Massachusetts as his home state.
I'll take the latter.
Actually, you’re a jerk, because it’s obviously you didn’t read the article.
If Romney’s “home state” is Michigan, then Newt’s home state is Pennsylvania, where he was born. Newt now lives and votes in Virginia. Is newt going to win Pa. or Va.?
Michigan is for sale, and Romney has the cash to tell the most lies.
I belive Romney will win in Michigan. I know that no one at FR wants to hear that. But I’m a betting man and my instincts tell me it will be Romney.
MI is clearly Romney’s home-state, at least he speaks like that is what it is drawing on his roots, and his campaign ads showing him drivingin an auto and speaking of his love for Detroit. Gingrich is absolutely right on target. But the rich irony of it all is that if Gingrich stays on the MI ballot, through his 10% polling, he may be the very one to hand MI to Romney.
Willard the Lib is going to lose Michigan AND Arizona to Rick. Yep, I went THERE!
15% in Arizona more likely to vote for McCain endorsed candidate, 30% less likely. Unpopular with base
Santorum winning Tea Party, Evangelicals, ‘very conservative’ in AZ
Big thing to watch in AZ: can Newt hold his 16%? Weakly committed supporters could leave for Santorum
Santorum (+34 at 61/27) is more popular in AZ than Romney (+24 at 58/34)
Romney leads Santorum by just 3 in Arizona, 36-33. Gingrich at 16%, Paul at 9%

Very quick romneybotzot.
And you’re a retread mittbott troll.
bye
As a matter of fact, new polling today shows Rick up by NINE in Michigan over Willard the Lib if Newt drops out.
Good one!
Also, because this is a race for delegates, it needs to be stressed that a small Romney victory in MI alone may not be enough in the delegate count.
MI allocates delegates in a WTA by CD format (2 delegates per each CD to the winner of that CD) and 1 delegate each to the top two finishers of the statewide vote.
What this means is that Santorum can still grab half of Michigan’s delegates by winning 7 CD’s. Right now, he is favored in 9 of them and even if Romney takes the lead, odds are good that Santorum will still get 6-7 of these. I have (MI-1,2,3,4,6,7,8,10,and 11) as Santorum’s strongest areas where he is likely to win regardless of whether or not Romney beats him in the statewide vote. A 15-15 delegate split is still as good as a win when all is added up to what really matters.
How many home states does this fraud have?
But wait—there’s more!
This valuable consolation/parting gift, suitable for framing, can be yours for the low, low etc. etc.
(I would stop right here if I were you. But do what you want. You know you will anyway. Can’t say I didn’t warn you.)
