Newt: Palin comments are 'signal' to conservatives to vote for me

POLITICO's Ginger Gibson caught up with an elated Newt Gingrich shortly after Sarah Palin's not-quite-but-sorta endorsement on Fox News:

"We're thrilled - I just talked to Todd and we're just thrilled," he told POLITICO as he headed into his hotel here for the night. "It's a signal to every conservative that the one conservative vote that's effective is to Newt Gingrich and that's very helpful."

Palin's expression of support, Gingrich said, is part of a rush of support he believes will power him to victory on Saturday - and from there, into the candidate who will beat Mitt Romney to the GOP nomiantion.

"Lots of different things are working together to help us," Gingrich said.....

This is probably our last chance to stop Milt.

If he named her as his VP choice and she accepted, he'd win in a landslide.

Cheers!

Cheers!

If only Palin knew what it takes to win.
Still going with Santorum.

Now would be a good time for Perry and Santorum to bow out, and endorse Newt.

“This is probably our last chance to stop Milt.”

Yes, I agree and that is exactly why Sarah said what she said.

[Steelfish]

The 100 Evangelical pastors who endorsed Santorum are probably steaming at Palin. Santorum is the guy who’d bring back the Reagan Democrats. Perry needs to bow out- now!

[Sarah Barracuda]

If Romney wins SC its basically over(Unless someone Newt or someone else takes Florida) Sarah doesn’t want Romney to get the nomination, she knows why, we all know why..this is out chance to stop Romney, if there was ever a time to stop him its now

“Now would be a good time for Perry and Santorum to bow out, and endorse Newt”

For sure. Too bad Palin didn’t share this little jewel with everyone a week or so ago when it would have had more time to take effect.

Seems to me that Mitt is reading a lot of things in here.

Yeah, he was great Last night but he only has 1 more delegate that Perry.

Keep your powder dry!

[jeltz25]

Can Newt please stop using the 3rd person. Please. Show some humility and modesty for a few days at least. Keep your ego in check for a few days and don’t squander any potential goodwill.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Too bad he couldn’t even win his own state, last time.

[Christie at the beach]

All that he has to do is be the Newt like last night-Keep positive and stay on message and nothing can stop him. His speech earlier in South Carolina was right on message and full of information. I think this will be a campaign that people will help him. He will need ground support. I hope people will volunteer. I will and so will the better half.

Opps...

Seems to me that NEWT is reading a lot of things in here. Yeah, he was great Last night but he only has 1 more delegate that Perry. Keep your powder dry!

[exit82]

How would using first person make him sound humble?

Third person is fine.

However, if you want to continue to wring your hands over it, fine.

I don’t see the problem.

Let Newt be Newt.There’s a country to save.

[reagandemocrat]

Well, Santorum brought me back. But I’m not married to the guy and Romney needs a good butt-kickin’.

[itsahoot]

I suggested this would happen several weeks back, I think I was laughed out of the thread. Of course I think I only said it to tweak the PerryWinkles.

[moonhawk]

Are the Reagan Dems all union guys?

Didn’t RS vote against right to work?

Is that why they’d come back to him?

[toddausauras]

Go Newt and Go Sarah!
