Gingrich Says He Will Stay in Race and Stop Romney
NYT ^ | 3/20/12 | Shear

Posted on 03/20/2012 8:11:05 PM PDT by VinL

Newt Gingrich said Tuesday night that “phase one” for himself and Rick Santorum in the days ahead must be stopping Mitt Romney from getting enough delegates to claim the Republican presidential nomination.

Having skipped campaigning in Illinois and faced with mounting campaign debts, Mr. Gingrich said on Fox News that he was staying in the race because he believes voters would choose him as the nominee after rejecting Mr. Romney.

If Mr. Romney fails to get the 1,144 delegates he needs to wrap up the nomination, Mr. Gingrich said that “then we’ll have a real conversation about who can best beat Barack Obama.”

Mr. Gingrich said that he believes voters would turn to him as the best person to debate Mr. Obama in the fall. He said his repeated discussion about the need to produce more energy in the United States was putting Mr. Obama on the defensive.

“If the key is who can stand here and take him on head to head, I think I’m proving it every day,” Mr. Gingrich said. “He is losing this argument over expensive gasoline.”

Give your vote to whoever you want, but don’t come here to lecture us.

I don’t take orders from anyone.

Gads. Here we go again with the ignorant, juvenile, baseless name-calling.

Buddy, I am not a dumb-ass. But, you are deceived if you believe Newt will keep Romney from getting the nomination. The conservative vote is TOO DILUTED. Because of that fact, the liberal Romney will likely get the nomination—as much we hate it. Do not call me another stupid, rude name for simply stating the likely truth; instead, just hide and watch (and go pound sand while you’re at it).

Drudge? Why that’s impossible Drudge is all for Romney. Santorum is too... as long as he would be honored to be his VP
