Despite speculation that he might drop out of the presidential race soon, Newt Gingrich said he is pressing on during an exclusive interview with NewsChannel 36 anchor Dave Wagner Tuesday afternoon.
“These reports somehow get exaggerated,” Gingrich. “We have 23 events this week…What I did say was that we are going to evaluate actively and honestly what has happened here.”
Gingrich spent part of Tuesday at the Billy Graham library with his wife and campaign staff. He is expected at an event Tuesday night in Concord as well.
“Under any circumstance we are going to be at every single event we outlined this week and our expectation is that we’ll continue to campaign until Romney gets to 1144 delegates.
“I think it is very important for the voters to be the people who decide, not the news media or the campaign consultants,” Gingrich added.

Agreed, but the fight at this point is to deny delegates, and we need to consolidate behind either Paul or Gingrich. If Gingrich blew Paul out of the water, he’d have won my vote tonight as spoiler. That didn’t happen.
Paul btw wins delegates in Rhode Island (4 from the Congressional district), and may win some more in CT and in New York.
Would have been interesting to see a campaign in the west.
Texas ended up nearly saving the whole kit’n’kaboodle.
The problem is purely logistics. Concentrations of troops over to the west would have taken a long time, and the threat was a union knockout blow in the east. Lee would have had to build fortifications to stop the Army of Virginia, who’s sole job was to tie up Lee in the East.
Lee saw things this way. He couldn’t knock the north out with a Western Campaign, he had to fight and win in the East, and he knew that a long struggle would lose the war. The war was lost not with the armies but the Navies. The north could afford to build both, while the South couldn’t.
This was the Anaconda plan. Any western offensive wouldn’t have solved the strategic problems in the South wrt supply + munitions.
A-fricken-men. We can’t win with him. Any money spent on him, is funding the British, as if it were to go to the King personally and deliver it to him.
Are any of you one of those fools, tools, trolls, or sleepers that associate with, or hire, or do any business whatsoever with anyone from these groups that voted for Obama in these percentages in 2008? :

I'm proud of Newt for being the last Conservative standing...and I was Proud to vote for him today...he hasn't swayed from his intentions and stayed the course with ‘all’ against him....and he's not letting the media nor the other candidates determine if or when he's out...he's going the distance he feels is right for this country and I'm glad that he is.
Right on the money friend!!! Anybody But Obama!!!
An interesting thought. Is it possible that Free Republic might be used in the fall to campaign for Obama? That would be unreal.
>>The iceberg’s on the starboard bow
>>Won’t you dance with me newt....
Screw that. I’m findin’ a Tea kettle to paddle with a stick.
People don’t have to be excited about a candidate they vote for; they just have to be excited enough to vote against the other candidate.
If nothing else, Romney is close friends with Netanyahu. It will be far easier to vote for someone who cares about Israel and to vote against someone who apparently despises it.
This site is not to promote Romney by the way.
Romney supporters are getting brave.
This is all I need to hear! This means Newt is fighting til the bitter end and that's what matters!
If by some miracle Romney doesn't make it then conservatives have a chance to totally wreak havoc on the GOPe and even if Romney does get 1144, I'm not sure we still won't raise Cain, I don't see how conservatives can afford not too! I know one thing either way The GOPe/RNC/rinos/moderates are going have to deal with a conservative can of whoop ass! I see no other choice for conservatives at this point to either fight or outright give the republican party the middle finger salute and walk because I'm personally sick of this crap!
To all you Romney supporters, have fun with this election because it is going to be pretty dismal for you rino supporting traitor ABO kissasses!
If that's the case how is FR different than MoveOn or DU?
Who says FR is different in wanting to keep TRAITORS out??? This is a CONSERVATIVE site, why would we want to discuss supporting rino/moderate/GOPe/liberal/socialist/marxist idiots!
The only RULE is, GFY!
All it takes is one social conservative, scripture quoting candidate to enter the race and play spoiler like Huckabee or Santorum and the remaining conservative vote splinters to pieces..
...but that same dynamic holds true for the lefty’s as well...we don’t see it this year because Obama is unopposed...next time around, I’m looking forward to the Dem’s and their internecine warfare to riddle their chances at the WH in 2016, at which time I believe if Jesus Himself were to run for them, they would be soundly defeated, because of their dissension...and they’ll be the ones making ridiculous comments on their blogs about ‘purity’ and ‘remaining true to liberal principle’ when their ideological soulmates are making quixotic clowns out of themselves by running up debt and finishing primaries with single digit numbers...
...it’s probably true that Obama wins a second term, and that Romney’s political career will be over after November, though of course anything is possible...but looking at the electoral college map, and the swing state’s polling data, Romney’s got a real mountain to climb...but if he does win, and the country doesn’t implode, it will be interesting to see what the posters on this forum have to say about him...
When told Romney is their only choice, people stayed home!..
...and you take that to be a lack of ‘groundswell’ support for Romney? Looks more like laziness because this race is settled already...has nothing at all to do with enthusiasm in November, when nothing will be settled and the votes matter...
To all you Romney supporters, have fun with this election because it is going to be pretty dismal for you rino supporting traitor ABO kissasses!
...OK, Barack Hussein, if you say so...
Newt reminds me more and more of Milton Waddams in Office Space.
“actually, he doesn’t work here anymore, he just doesn’t know it”
LOL
Right -- I'll bet the halls of the Dems are resounding with jubilation today.
