The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Newt Gingrich will not campaign in Michigan in advance of next Tuesday's primary there:
Spokesman R.C. Hammond confirmed Monday night that the campaign is scrapping tentative plans to travel to Michigan at the end of the week ahead of the states Feb. 28 primary.
Gingrich is spending Tuesday and Wednesday in the other Feb. 28 primary Arizona but that is mostly for the sake of Wednesday nights debate, and his public schedule will be light.

I remember the photo, that is what made me say it, I didn't anyone else would get it ROFLMAO !!!
My concern is that right now the iron is hot to take out the worst one running in his birth state which knocks down the number one factor in most minds to Romney's support. Romney's running on being 'the electable one.' If he loses one of his major states - Utah, Michigan, Massachusetts, that argument goes out the window.
The previous threads with Michigan polls had a few individuals, who were Newt backers (wasn't you and the names there are clear to see in those threads), going all in ripping Santorum, spamming the threads. Then they put vanity posts up repeating some outright lies as well as media twists implying things that aren't the case. It was Romney level attacks.
That helps Romney, right at the chance to politically make him fight the rest of the way with a broken jaw.
I just wish that was the other Rick in the Gilligan hat. I see him as Newt’s little buddy.
You truely are a Jedi master.
Rick Perry should be the guy who discovers the island while prospecting for oil. By the end of the episode he decides that these people drive him so crazy he’s going to leave them abandoned on the island.
After February 28th, it’s out of my control. I don’t think Santorum has to win it, but he must come close. I think it can go either way.
Don’t you see? Romney is inevitable! Inevitable! Primaries, polls, caucuses, delegates, what are they all about. It’s been decreed. So it must be./s
If Sarah Palin’s movie was called “The Undefeated,” then Mitt Romney’s movie should be called “The Unelectable.”
I assume the J.H. stands for Jon Huntsman,Sr?
“Newt won’t campaign in Michigan”
More brilliance from the “smartest guy in the room”. He will lose big in Michigan, so however he does he can say:
“We did better than expected, given that we didn’t campaign there - even though we came in dead last, it’s plainly obvious to any thinking human being that it’s time that every other candidate drops out and unite behind the most qualified candidate in the history of mankind. ME”
Ditto all you said in post #32. Go Newt.
Now THAT was funny!!!
but every vote for him was a vote not for romney...maybe we see who is on romneys side after all
classy move? is that code for im gonna get my doors blown off and might finish fourth so lets come up with an excuse
Oh please VanDeKrank. I don’t see that Politico is Santorum’s people.
LOLLOLOLOL!
If you are too gone to see what Politico does, blame yourself, not anyone else.
Newt wasn’t interested in Michigan, he set up his own plan.
Newt knows what he is doing
ya the guy who was way ahead and now barely holding off paul knows what he is doing
+1 that! I remember everyone laughing at the DUmmies saying that they just didn’t understand, Obama was playing three dimensional chess! Newt is not some master strategist, he knows he will lose to even the Paulbots there.
Gee what an insightful post by you...not. At least put some effort into it next time and paste in some out-of-context quotes even if they have been thoroughly debunked with the facts.
“And now Rick cant blame Newt for splitting the anti-Romney vote.”
Saint Ricky will likely blame it on Satan.
