Newt Gingrich to officially end bid for Republican presidential nomination and back Mitt Romney, sources tell CNN.

Just one line at the moment on CNN.

Looks like I won’t be voting on the presidential part of the ballot. Hope we get a majority in the senate and obama has fun with full out obstructionism from the R’s.

It might be better than them working WITH Romney. Too many rino’s will let him do anything liberal, but they’d fight Obama simply because he’s obama. It may be the best course.

I said, MAY...

At least he held out until Santorum quit running. That was the important thing...

What a jackass!

[cotton1706]

Newt for press spokesman! At least for a year. That would be sweet!

[luvie]

The most depressing headline I’ve seen in a long time. :(

[skeeter]

Newt, taking one for the team?

FOX News began this story.

In hours, FReepers will learn if this is yet
another dirty trick of Bishop Romney and his Legion.

California and texas have been effectively disenfranchised....another choice has been removed from them.

Thiss is the what happened to me in 2008. Thompson dropped out before i could vote for him. All that were left were RINO.

Rational Conservatism vs All-or-Nothing Conservatism... one lives to fight another day, the other packs their bags and harrumphs all the way home, can you guess which is which?

[arderkrag]

Looks like third party for me. I refuse to vote for either Marxist.

[kevcol]

I said, MAY...

It IS the best course IMO.

Sources close to Newt Gingrich say ..

And that is Breaking News ? ? ?

He may well hang it up, but how about waiting for NEWT to announce it before starting your celebration ? !

We need a National Primary Day. The primary season is way too long, and relative few voters in small states decide whom the nominee will be before the bigger states even get a chance to have their say.

[andy58-in-nh]

Not everything is a conspiracy. Newt is simply out of money and out of time. You don’t have to like it, but it’s the truth.

>> It might be better than them working WITH Romney. <<

Tell it to the Marines. Do think they would be better off “working with” Big Ø as CINC?

Voting for Romney would be the end of Conservatism.

Santorum 2012

Looks like I won’t be voting on the presidential part of the ballot.

If you're not going to vote anyway at least punch the ticket for the Green Party. If they get enough votes it might cause a split in the dems. Note how angry they got at Nader after Florida 2000.

Rationality is baneful to some...

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, now that he’s the only person on the floor besides Romney, he drops out. What a class act! /s /s /s /s /s

Why didn’t he do this months ago?

“Oh, I’m in it all the way.” BULL S—T!
