AP: ....."Gingrich's strategy hinges on preventing front-runner Mitt Romney from winning the 1,144 delegates he needs for the nomination, Gingrich spokesman RC Hammond said Tuesday night. The former House speaker plans to spend much less time in primary states and instead personally call delegates to try to persuade them to back him at the Republican National Convention in August.

"We are not going to cede to Mitt Romney's strategy to take the party down," Hammond said. Ultimately, Gingrich would take the fight to the convention floor, Hammond said.".....

I’m glad Gingrich is changing his campaign manager. I think his strategy hasn’t been as efficient as it could have been. My brief contact with the campaign in the Florida primary made me wonder about it. We spent most of our phone time collecting data rather than telling people to get out to the polls (which is the only thing that wins an election).

I realize that this may help in the long term, but only if you can make sure your candidate is front and center to begin with. And while it may sound silly, the campaign had almost no yard signs or anything else. When I went to vote, the school where I vote was literally surrounded by Romney signs (with a few for Paul and Santorum, but none for Newt), and unfortunately many voters are probably influenced by that.

Newt is a freaking flake, but remember this, he is the smartest person in the room and the only one who can really save this country from certain disaster!

May there be much contentious gnashing of teeth from the rino establishment at the republican convention!!

Bring it all down NEWT!
