Newt continues to try to draw to an inside straight. Not good odds- but for myself, as long as he decides not to fold, and as long as there's a card left in the deck-- I'm with him.

We’d be better off if he devoted resources to endorsing Rick. I like both, and I was prepared to support either. I was prepared to suggest whichever one was trailing after Super Tuesday drop out.

Unfortunately for Newt, he’s the guy. Its time to get out of the way.

Newt Gingrich is canceling campaign events scheduled for Kansas at the end of the week

He knows Kansas is Ricks and figures why waste resources. Alabama will go for Newt, but Mississippi is something I am wondering about. I think Rick may take Mississippi. Anyone else have an opinion?

Exactly why it is imperative Newt remain IN the race. Newt has 105 bound delegates to Santorum's 78. On the popular vote Santorum is only 2% above Newt.

This race can change and after Romney starts going after RS BIG time as he has Newt..Newt's numbers will go up. Heard Rick Perry say that he is looking towards Texas. Perry is working hard for Newt there as is Chuck Norris. I am amazed at the people on various sites I have written to that are totally unaward of Santorum's voting record..unbelievable! Hang tough NEWT!

Newt will very likely take Bama and Ole Miss should follow suit.

As you may recall, Newt was leading in an Alabama poll about 3 weeks ago during his low point in the aftermath of Romney’s $20+ million BS Florida ad blitz.

“Newt Gingrich is canceling campaign events scheduled for Kansas”

Withdrawing for a State. Now I am starting to have major issues.

“All of the logic being used by the Santorum campaign is simply reversed and it could be used on Rick Santorum,” Hammond said. “We’ll argue, Santorum is splitting Mitt Romney’s moderate vote.”


Santorum is far more conservative. At this time, and it’s getting late in the game to stop Romney, both moderates and conservative voters prefer Santorum over Newt. Nothing we can do about that.

If we want to stop Romney, we have to give up supporting Newt.

Voting for Newt now means dying on Newt Hill and getting Romney.

GO NEWT! There is a good reason to stay in, and Sarah Palin just pointed out why.

The GOP primary will go on for many more months, Hammond said. “We’ll stick in the race.”


Newt is not going anywhere. :-)

He wins there or he's done.

His only point now is to nominate Romney. He’s a smart man, and he knows that it’s OVER for him. This ostensible “strategy” is preposterous, and it’s clear now that he’s all about himself, and his position in the Romney campaign. Just like Ron Paul. Screw him! Bob

Might as well turn this thing into a regional thing and kick off the next Civil War.

Newt should run to be the second President of the CSA.

I’m with Newt. If he were to drop out before my state goes, I’m skipping the primary because I don’t like the libertarian or the two RINOs. Will vote for whomever the GOP puts against Obama in the general election.

Looks like Newt and Santorum together, even if they were to combine forces, are still way behind RomneyCare. It's hard to image that the best opponent the "right" could prop up against Obama is Romney. Even harder to believe is probably the worst POTUS in U.S. history, clearly a Socialist, may get elected to a second term!?

Somewhere along the line the space-time continuum was disrupted and we're now in a alternate universe.

Thomas Sowell on the Liven show tonight thought our republic would be lost depending on this election. BTW, he is a Newt supporter.

Yesterday was so painful. Our primary finally arrived, and I couldn’t vote for Newt. Maybe, God willing, I can in November.
