Look at what Newt does not what he says. He's as phony as Soetoro. FUNG.

Since this is an AP wire, I believe we are allowed to post links only, right?
Newt should drop out for the sake of conservatism. Conservative Republicans have spoken, and they want Rick.
In Newt’s interviews last night, I saw hints that he may drop out before the next big winner-take-all primary.
“Newt needs to step out of the way and let Rick and Mittens duke it out.”
Agreed...but I heard some rumblings about a Rick/Newt ticket? This current primary has been so unconventional why not announce the ticket? By combining their shared mojo it could prove to be an insurmountable defense against Mitt...unless he is then pushed to name a VP early and then it would be game on.
by the way I believe it would be a Rick/Newt ticket since Rick has earned it thus far.
Santorum and Romney are duking it out. Gingrich is keeping Romney from being crowed glory king.
Way to go Newt!!!! Stay in the race.
What crystal ball are you reading that makes you so confident that Gingrich votes will go to Santorum or not just be split between Santorum/Romney and maybe even Paul.
“I think we’re about to find out if Sheldon Adleson is willing to throw away money like the people in his casinos.”
Of course he is willing especially if he really wants Mitt to win. By singlehandely keeping Newt’s campaign alive he is assuring Rick dosesn’t level a death blow to the Mitt campaign, which would have been the case in Ohio if Newt had not been a contender.
This is where I question Newt’s integrity (and I voted for him before I knew this)...We have to wonder is he staying in as the spoiler for Mitt or Rick? Is Mr. Adleson’s money actually an indirect contribution to the Mitt campaign? Why else would he donate to a candidate that is showing he has no chance at getting the nomination?
If Newt joins forces with Rick then I can admit I was wrong, but until then I’m thinking that Newt’s desire to stay in can only be to help Mitt.
Have no fear.
Once Mittens has the nomination, the message will be improved - to attract moderates and Democrats.
We need more debates.
Real conservatives don’t vote pro-union and for annual debt increases and minimum wage increases either.

Gingrich and Santorum share the social conservative vote, with Rick having the edge. The libertine vote is already going to Paul and Romney.
Huh??
Do you really believe that the votes going to Gingrich would otherwise go to Mittens?
Who are Gingrich supporters?
My guess is that they prepared to overlook Gingrich's personal weakenesses and failures in order to nominate a strong Conservative.
If Newt were out of the race, why would you think they would run to Mittens rather than the only other Conservative in the race?
BTW, in full disclosure, I was Herman Cain supporter before he was taken out and then a Newt supporter.
But Newt has proven to be unacceptable to most Republicans (probably for past failures and personality weaknesses).
Look at what Newt does not what he says. He's as phony as Soetoro. FUNG.
Earliest convenience = now.
No, they wouldn’t.
Look at the math, Romney needs to win 49.7% of the delegates left.
If he wins California, New York and New Jersey (winner take all States that he will likely win), he would only need about 33% of the remaining delegates to clinch.
With Gingrich keeping his numbers down in the proportional States, it gives a chance to keep Romney under that number if Santorum can win the winner take all States of Texas, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.
If Gingrich gets out, Romney will pick up 1 or 2 or 3 extra delegates from all of those proportional contests. And if that happens, Romney absolutely gets to 1144.
I have know idea where Gingrich votes would go, and neither does anyone else, that’s the point. Somehow the assumption is that they would all go to Santorum, that is what I depute.
What is more likely to happen is that Gingrich votes would be split between Santorum/Romney and a few going to Paul.
Those pealed off votes from Gingrich might be enough to make Romney the nominee.
Bottom line is that no one knows what would happen to Gingrich’s votes, for me I want him to stay even if the only thing that happens is that Romney wont take the prize during the nomination process.
Personally, I had hoped Gingrich would be doing a lot better by now.
“Newt is running for newts ego.”
Stupidest statement I’ve seen on here in along time.
Not going to happen unless Newt wants to debate himself or Ron Paul.
Anybody that's honest, whether they support Newt or not, will freely admit he's the best debater in the game.
Debates are useful for winnowing the field. Much less so than when people are familiar with the candidates. And totally useless when the opponents avoid them.
The potential backlash for ducking a debate is far less than the backlash for getting creamed in one.
For those who salivate at the prospect of a Gingrich-Obama debate, be assured that the Kenyan's handlers will keep them to a minimum or even avoid them altogether. Gingrich could beat Obama in debates even if Obama's people pick venues, pack the audience with syncopates, pick moderators which are even worse than syncopates, and give him the questions in advance. Do you think Obama's handlers don't know this?
Look, I know she’s abhorent ...but to me, this picture does not condemn Newt to me like it does so many others.
Even as a conservative, I AM also concerned about the environment, and I hope that someday, we find solutions to our REAL environmental problems. Not the manufactured ones ...but any real ones that might be out there.
To do it, we need money, which is why we need a great fiscal conservative like Newt.
But at some point, EVERYONE will need to work together ...my hope is that rational science along with the resources garnered through capitalism and free markets will solve these problems — rationally, and logically. I think Newt would be in for that ...and that’s a good thing.
I’m interested in clean air and water. I don’t want to ruin our natural resources. But there’s a way to do it rationally, and with the right scientific evidence ...unlike the Dems who could likely TRULY care less about it, but just want to use it to advance their demonic agenda.
I feel the debates ended too early. Not enough people were paying attention. We need more, definitely. And now we’ll just have to wait until the fall when our nominee debates Obama ....IF they debate to Obama.
