Though Gingrich and Romney throughout January engaged in some of the most personal attacks of the presidential primary campaign, Gingrich said Sunday that the two are at peace with one another.
"I hit him as hard as I could, he hit me as hard as he could -- turned out he had more things to hit with than I did," Gingrich said. "That's part of the business."
Gingrich said that if Romney wins 1,144 delegates and clinches the nomination, he will do "everything I can" to support him going into November.
"We are absolutely committed to defeating Barack Obama," he said. "I will work as hard for (Romney) as I would for myself."
He said he's already spoken with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus about how he can help going into November. "Beyond that ... I'll go back to a post-political career," Gingrich said.
Still, he said supporters are urging him to stay in.
"I do think there's a desire for a more idea-oriented Republican Party," Gingrich said.
Gingrich said he's seeing a "great response" in the upcoming primaries for Delaware and North Carolina, and will "see what happens" in those two states. Despite his comments Sunday, the candidate had recently told The Washington Post that "nothing" could get him out of the race quite yet.
Gingrich said he wants to campaign for changes in the party platform -- namely, to push for domestic energy production, to "stand up very firmly for religious liberty" and to reform the Social Security system.
Romney is leading the field with 660 delegates, according to the Associated Press tally. Rick Santorum is trailing with 281, followed by Gingrich with 135 and Ron Paul with 51.

Counterproductive moral vanity in my opinion; a political perspective that embraces statism to achieve a desired outcome.
If Santorum had gotten out after Florida, and sent his delegates to Newt during the primary, like a mature adult, Newt, after sparring with Romney, and exposing voters to his ideas, would be heading toward the nomination. Let’s keep a little visual acuity in our rear-view mirror pronouncements. Minimum.
You have had either a major awakening and reconsideration regards Sarah Palin, or you are posturing.
I remember the bile you spewed regards her, so, what has changed?
I also remember PSYCHO's supportive posts of Romney the past few days, after posing as a Newt supporter for many months. Exactly who do you support for the Republican nomination, Psycho?
No one can force you to abandon moral principle.
Newt won Georgia. He graduated from high school there. If you want to be technical..RS lives in Virginia.
Yes, no one paid any attention to Santorum and everyone knew he was never a threat. He won’t be the nominee..it was Newt they wanted to take out including the media elites.Romney’s super pacs spent millions attacking Newt in Iowa, millions attacking Newt in Fla and Newt still came in 2nd in Fla but due to sneaky tricks he didnt get any delegates.
It is not old news that Santorum endorsed Mitt 3 yrs ago..and as for the creme de la creme endorsing Newt..he has more of the true conservatives than Santorum.
Do you regard Michelle Malkin as ‘not a true conservative’?
Dr. Dobson in Colorado?
Who are you again? And why should I care?
Hopefully, a Nebraska delegate. I was responding to you saying conservatives are not smart. The fact that you must knee before romney says everything about you.
OR, do like myself, and write in Palin...
No. I believe it is the obligation of the several states. Any government that can outlaw abortion, can make it mandatory. (See China's One Chile Policy.)
Oops. Chile=Child
BTW, I have to apologize for the couple of times we bumped heads (between Palin and Perry)... That seems like a lifetime ago now >.< Here and now, I agree with you 100% and I would be happy with either Palin OR Perry.. Once Newt is out.. there are no Conservatives left.. only CINOs :/
Romney = Obummer-Lite
Santorum = Romney-Lite
ROMTORUM / SANTOMNEY
>.<
Wait.. I thought he was on the same wavelength as me (us)... NO MORE RINO/CINO!!
(Hope I didn’t make a mistake) :p
At least if he takes Obama out, that will give us time to move the old furniture out of the GOP, and replace it with newer, smaller and more user friendly furniture that suits our needs and not the GOPE. But if Obama wins, we have no second chance.
Again, I do not support Romney, and I never have.
AL
MS
Again, Santorum beat Newt in both. Newt winning states Santorum won isn’t a net gain for team conservative.
And before you irrelevantly claim that because Santorum won those two, they don’t count, because you didn’t mean states that Santorum won, that Newt could’ve won, but rather you meant states Romney won that Newt could’ve won...
Don’t bother, that’s ridiculous.
If you claim the two are competing for the same votes, then any close state between those two, regardless who won the state, is a state that Santorum’s presence caused Newt to lose.
Both AL and MS were close enough between those two, if they were drawing from the same voters, Newt would’ve cleaned up like he did in SC and GA, if Santorum had not been there.
You're exactly what I'm talking about.
Haven't you even paid attention to the thread? I don't like Santorum because he's NOT CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH for my taste, and I've been advocating that conservatives LEAVE THE GOP rather than vote for Romney - because I despise Romney the RINO that much.
