Newt Gingrich unveiled a new message to Mitt Romney Monday morning during a campaign stop in Maryland: if the former Massachusetts governor does become the Republican nominee, pick a conservative platform.
But speaking on the eve of three primaries that could potentially seal the Republican nomination in Romneys favor, Gingrich vowed to only exit the race if a candidate gets the required delegates.
I will be going to Tampa, Callista and I will both be going to Tampa, because we are going to fight for a conservative platform, Gingrich said. He [Romney] has to win 1,144 uncontested delegates. At that point, the question is going to become, if he wants our support in the general election, lets talk about the platform and it better be a solid, 21st century conservative platform based on sound principles that we can stick to.
Gingrich, speaking to a couple of hundred people at a Ford dealership in western Maryland, noted that he took the recent Etch A Sketch comments from Romneys communication director very seriously and worried that clever consultants would hinder a platform conducive to more conservative Republicans.
The former House Speaker also argues the former governor is being awarded too many delegates from Florida, Arizona, and Idaho because the states are supposed to be proportional by RNC rules.
Campaign spokesman R.C. Hammond tells NBC News that the campaign has sent letters to those states' Republican Parties to correct the errors.
.........One topic Gingrich loves to talk about -- the court system in America -- came up Monday morning, as well.
Perhaps in an appeal to the Tea Party attendees in the audience with dont tread on me flags, Gingrich launched a new attack on Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg for her comments on the U.S. constitution.....

I regret he is not doing better, but he was fatally injured by Romney's Super PAC. He will soon be out, because all of his big financial support will likely pull out after tomorrow.
It's sad to see it happen.
You win some you lose some. The war goes on :)
Although realistically, Obama might fire Biden and bring Hillary over for VP. If that happens, he will rip her as well, but the MSM will somehow prevent that vulnerable scenario.
( though, the best part, would be undoing the rhinos and radicals path they set the nation on) Thanks for posting it today.
We have not seen the last of Newt, he will support our cause for a long time to come.
Onto Tampa! You betcha!

Of course, you're absolutely right (as per norm) :) - but I am not taking my eyes of the prize - Newt and barack - and the debris and gnashing of teeth afterward... It's a dream worth holding onto...
GO NEWT!!
Have you heard anything about Newt and Sarah teaming up yet?
That would be a tough combination to beat.
No, I haven’t. I wish she would have campaigned for him.
LOL! I agree! GO NEWT! (Why not?)
I hope to see more of Newt, but it’s important to remember the movement is bigger than any one man and there are more battles to come. I think the biggest problem facing conservatives is the Republican Party (the establishment). They are completely hostile to conservatives.
They know he's falling flat on his face.
Visualizing O as a puddle on the floor is helping me get through all this other campaign BS!!
And don't forget the best part - Day One!!
SUBSTANCE TALKING POINTS
On January 20, 2013, within two hours of placing his family photos on the Resolute Desk, President Gingrich will have signed an executive order to cashier all of the Obama czars. Then, hell sign one to approve the oil pipeline from Canada to Houston. By lunch, hell have moved the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Next up would be re-instituting Ronald Reagans Mexico City policy, to forbid spending money to subsidize abortion overseas
By the time ex-President Obama lands in Chicago, he aims to have repealed 40 percent of Obamas government.
Newt wants every Republican candidate to campaign with him on a pledge to hit the next Congress in a monster jam session that repeals the job-killing centralized corruption of ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, and Sarbanes-Oxley by the time hes sworn in
And that's just an appetizer... Newts economic plans include:
Newt has pledged to have a full list of his proposed executive orders and presidential findings published online by October, so that every voter will know exactly what theyre getting.
While Romney has been running for President for years, and Santorum has consistently supported increasing the size of government, and spending taxpayers' money, Newt has been planning and proposing solutions to rescue our country from the brink of disaster, and make America great again.
B-U-M-P!
You betcha!
That is a long stretch since that survey only hit those levels in the last 2 weeks. I would like to know more about it though.
I regret he is not doing better, but he was fatally injured by Romney's Super PAC. He will soon be out, because all of his big financial support will likely pull out after tomorrow.

Now is not time to give up, not if you truly believe in Newt, not if you believe we can still make a difference. The odds are against us, and the trail is long. NOW IS NO TIME TO GIVE UP...
It’s almost too much to hope for!!
That is, without any doubt, Obama's second-favorite GOP dream ticket. (The first would be Palin-Gingrich.)
