Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- Newt Gingrich will become the third Republican presidential candidate to receive Secret Service protection.

Service protection begins as early as Wednesday, according to a source from the Gingrich campaign.

A spokesperson with the U.S. Secret Service would not confirm or comment on any details, deliberations or assessments related to providing service protection for Gingrich or any presidential candidate.

The Gingrich campaign submitted paperwork requesting Secret Service protection in late February. Until now the former House speaker was paying a private security firm to protect Gingrich and his wife at public events....

One of the better uses of our tax dollars I’ve heard of lately.

There’s a natural cause vaccine in the works, but it may not get deployed in time for the elections....

As much as I’ve admired Newt’s ability to articulate and argue the issues, he needs to drop out if Santorum manages to win Ohio tonight.

Take one for the cause.

That’s the only way we’ll stop Romney and, ultimately, Obama.

Sorry, I cannot agree. Mr. Newt is on his way back. Rick did well tonight, but he just does not bring the kind of leadership we need. It is still early, and Mr. Newt is still fighting!

YOU NAILED IT BUDDY!
If you liked John McCain, George W Bush, Bob Dole, George HW Bush, Gerald Ford YOU”LL LOVE Romney.

What Conservative Republicans have to know is that Christine O’Donnell revealed how Republican leaders feel.
They want a Liberal Republican over a Liberal Democrat.....
BUT they’ll settle for a Liberal Democrat over a Conservative Republican EVERY TIME.

KNOW THIS fellow Republicans.
If Romney gets the nomination I will not vote.
I’ll give the pubbies what they want.

About time!

Do we need to worry that the Secret Service works for Obama? Sad to say, it did cross my mind.
