NEW YORK —Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich told Republicans at a New York state party dinner that he would work for Mitt Romney’s victory in the general election if Romney wins the nomination.
“We are dedicated to a unified Republican Party,” he said.
Speaking Thursday in New York City, Gingrich said he’s stayed in the race “to articulate big themes and big ideas” but that “we have a moral obligation to defeat Barack Obama.”
To that end, he said, he would work to support Romney, and he said Romney would do the same for him. “Romney and I have discussed this,” he said.
In his remarks to the state party, Gingrich called for “bold” positions and reiterated his call for energy independence by opening up off-shore areas and federal lands to drilling.

Sad.
The other issue is that despite a huge tea party resurgence in 2010, historic midterm gains (Under MIchael Steele, who we also dumped, mind you) and a massive independent conservative uprising since Obama’s election, we’ve managed to allow mooooooderates and the establishment to run the show yet again. We didn’t learn with McCain? Really?
I think some people are in competition, screaming their hatred of Mitt for the benefit of others,in fear of being called disloyal.
Newt has ALWAYS said he would support the Republican nominee, including Romney. Only Romney had to first earn his 1144 delegates before Newt would support him.
Mark Levin asked Rick Santorum if he would support Romney were he the nominee, and Santorum also said he would, just like he hoped Romney would support him (Santorum) if here were the nominee...
This is nothing new, and people treating is as something it isn't are simply trying to spread misinformation.
Newt's point is and always has been, get the 1144, Mitt, and I will support you. If you hadn't noticed, Willard doesn't have 1144 delegates yet. He has about half. Gee.
Thanks Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!.
Well so is Newt. Newt was doing some work for Fox. Appears he’s trying to hook up with CNN. My guess is the heavy hitters of the party will be allowed to have a say unless they signal they aren’t going to play nice.
When Newt debated for the first time in Iowa..he stated that ANY candidate on the podium was better than Obama. So? the point is? Newt believes Obama is the most dangerous president in history but I don’t believe Newt has any love lost for Romney either.
Who do you think Perry will vote for if my man..NEWT...isnt the nominee. Have to tell you though..Romney and his NRC cohorts have run one damn dirty primary. I wont vote for him.
Hmm, does that mean, per Jim’s guidance, that now we can’t vote for Newt?
Ron Paul for everyone, now!!!
:-P
We are obligated to vote for Romney; Barbara Pierce Bush practically said so, said she disliked dissent in the party.
:-) Yeah, yeah. I know. Things are tough all over.
WTH is up with us & those Tea Party folks we voted in en masse nearly 2 years ago that there is nearly no effort to impeach this Marxist? Never mind that the Senate won’t convict him. They- and we, ought to be making a big enough fuss that the whole country knows the whole sickening story (NBP intimidation, Fast & Furious, the Solyndras, Exec Orders...just for starters- and virtually admitting that the BC was a forgery!) We should be *highlighting* the words (Bill Ayers’ words maybe, but be that as it may) right out of 0’s book re his Commie upbringing, too.
Why oh why are we just rolling over & taking it for granted that 0zer0 has a prayer at the WH?
It’s crazy.
