The Newt Gingrich campaign found itself in a state of confusion Friday night when reports surfaced that Gingrich would cancel all of his stops in North Carolina next week, fueling suggestions that Gingrich would be suspending his campaign. But the campaign says nothing is happening.
Two people close to the Gingrich campaign told ABC News they were contacted and told all of Gingrich’s North Carolina stops had been canceled, although R.C. Hammond, communications director for the campaign, said there was a “communication glitch.”
“There was confusion, but we will maintain our North Carolina schedule next week,” Hammond said.
One person close to the campaign said the stops were certainly canceled, then resumed after news reports left looming suspicion, even among his own staff, that Gingrich was suspending his campaign.
On Friday, the vice chairman of the North Carolina Republican party told the Shelby Star that he was contacted and told a stop a tavern in Kings Mountain, N.C. was canceled. (edit)
Hammond denied the stops were resumed purely to extinguish speculation Gingrich was dropping out.
“The North Carolina guys were instructed that the schedule was going to be redone so they called and told people, now they’ve got to call and tell them it’s back on,” Hammond said.
Gingrich will campaign in Delaware Saturday and will also campaign there Monday in a final push to pick up delegates. Hammond said Gingrich will not be dropping out any time soon, and certainly not before Tuesday.

You’re preaching to the choir sister. I have no idea what’s going on in some of their heads.
Heeeeeeelp:
Can anyone tell me where to go to determine which delegates I need to vote for to benefit Gingrich (ditch Romney) in the Pennsylvania primary, Congressional District 13?
Since PA is not winner take all, and the popular vote is mostly just show, I may not be undisenfranchised.
Here's a list I've started of how to support Newt.
1: Donate to Newt's Campaign.
2: Talk to as many republicans as you can about the DISASTER the GOPe has become and how NEWT can change the direction of the country.
3: If you claim to be a conservative, uphold some principle and stop voting for these rino clowns. The "Lessor Of Two Evils" excuse just is not valid anymore! things have changed!
Newt can be educated about global warming. You can’t fix Romney.
Post Helms, NC is a tough nut to crack for a conservative.
BEcause nobody does, and you could better spend your time getting concentrated rehabilitative psychological help... Think about it..
BACK TO IGNORE LIST, YOU.

I want that dang on sign!
right click on “save picture as”. From there I think you can print it.
We have around 15,000 calls that need to be made to Delaware before Tuesday’s primary. If we can get Champions for Newt who will make as many calls as they can between Friday and Monday, or Tuesday, we can do it!
As much as the political and media establishment would like to declare this race over and coronate Mitt Romney as our inevitable nominee, it just isn’t the case.
We’ve had great crowds with lots of enthusiasm, and a number of key elected officials have endorsed our campaign in recent days. We truly believe that we have a real opportunity to win there, but we need your help.
This campaign couldn’t have survived through the various ups and downs without the passionate support of people like you. And now it’s time to put that passion to work again.
We just launched a new “phone from home” system at phone.newt.org and there’s plenty of households in Delaware that could use a call from you.
We’re trying to make as many calls as we can into Delaware over the next few days to identify Newt supporters, to persuade undecided voters, and turn them out to the polls on Tuesday.
Our new system is very easy to use and your help over the next few days is absolutely vital.
So please take a moment today to visit phone.newt.org and make as many phone calls as you can.
With your help, we can turn the conventional wisdom on its head, and force the political and media establishment to acknowledge that this race is not over.
GOT PHONE? Make calls into DE this weekend for Newt:

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!
Thanks just the same ;-)
I have not officially suspended my campaign for Supreme Galactic Emperor either.
Can’t argue with that! I just wish Newt would actually admit where he REALLY stands on AGW - he has expressed remorse for his “couch time” with Pelozi, yet has SINCE THAT supposed remorse/repentance, further written and spoken as a believer in AGW. I fear he is playing both sides of the coin (imagine that - a politician playing both teams for votes).
But it really is unacceptable for him to in ANY WAY continue to promote the fraud that is AGW.
Mr. Speaker, we’re right here with you sir. The fight goes on!
Newt isn’t perfect, however, he has a demonstrated record of conservative politics. He also has some goofs and bouts with liberal ideas such as GW that we can steer, educate or correct. Romney and Obama are birds of a feather. In fact, Romney has even said he is not a Republican or conservative, he simply registered Republican to get elected.
And I will stand with Newt until Newt stands down.
Romney is on the mission to be President.. Newt is on a mission to save our Country! I’m with NEWT!
Win or lose can you imagine a Newt speech at the RNC in Tampa? That will be the best speech of OUR lifetime!!!
I have been critical about his wife's luxuries, but Newt KNOWS the issues, has the ability to address the issues! And can produce results!!!
That is the problem with Romney. He's so damn bland it's sad, one of the debates it looked like he was a normal person but Barry is so damn slick.
I'm going to have to post the story on my profile page because everyone asks about it but I met Zero in 2005 at a GWB private event. Spoke to him for 10 minutes, got his auto, and I told him to his face I did not vote for him for Senate (he won with 70%+ of the vote) he gave me same hope and change garbage that sold the lemmings in 08.
Back when I met zero I called my mom (she passed in 08 before zero won) and told her I met the next president and he is pure evil. I have the ticket and auto as proof hehe!
Your oppenent, Mitt Palpatine is a lying RINO.
I'm glad you're not suspending.
Thanks Steelfish for your “dose of reality” to the Newt dreamers.
Time of all of us to get up off our mother’s couches and get to work on damage control.
And you didn’t mention WI..but let’s all remember that Rick was AHEAD in the primary here..until Big Brother RNC stepped in and plopped Ryan and Mittens in a sandwich shop for an SNL “sub-gate”, causing gullible voters of my state to change their minds and cancel out Rick’s game changing potential victory.
