[Gennie]

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

[Hawthorn]

>> Newt for press spokesman! <<

No, Newt’s own dream job is to be head of the National Zoo. Seriously!

[JaguarXKE]

Me neither - or I will write in Newt.

[arderkrag]

There’s nothing remotely rational about the ABO crowd.

[kevcol]

Looks like third party for me.

Are you telling me you would rather just let an abortionist, homo-agenda coddling, socialized healthcare advocating, amnesty-loving, gun grabbing, liberal judge appointing Marxist get a second term than vote for Mitt??? You need your head examined! /s

[Psalm 144]

Whether this headline is accurate or not makes no difference to me.

No Romney, no way, not ever.

[ConservativeStatement]

I would have enjoyed either Dick Cheney in 2008 or Newt Gingrich in 2012 to debate Barry. It would have been enjoyable to see him get an education...for the first time in his life that didn't come from a narrow-minded cohort.

[JaguarXKE]

What’s with the picture of Rachel Maddow?

[Hawthorn]

>> Not everything is a conspiracy. <<

Ah-ha! The fact that you would dare to say such a thing just PROVES that you too are a part of the vast leftwing disinformation conspiracy!

[arderkrag]

LOL!

“Rationality is baneful to some...”

Whoring for leftist machines is attractive to some.

If by Rational Conservatism you mean Romney then you need to study the definition of conservatism. Don't assume there is always another day to fight, how much Tyranny can America take? How many times have the rational conservative decided to give in and go home?

To everyone else, why believe these rumors when Newt himself said yesterday he was in till the end. Time will tell, but I'm betting whoever is behind this is just trying to discourage Gingrich's already flagging support.

What ever happened to the thread just below this one?

Gingrich to WCNC: 'We’ll continue to campaign'

[Longbow1969]

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

Huh? If Newt made the ballot you will still be able to vote for him in California or Texas. Santorum's campaign has been suspended for awhile now and he still beat Newt in Pennsylvania last night.

Once candidates realize they have no chance to win they drop out. That is how it works. Why would Newt continue a campaign that he can't win? It takes money? Is he supposed to lie to donors and tell them there is a real chance? Most people will see through that and not give anymore anyway. So without money how is Newt supposed to campaign? No one was disenfranchised. If you live in California or Texas, and Newt made the ballot, you can still vote for him.

Any chance we can come out of denial now?

Since I know there’s no way on earth Maobama can win the electoral votes from the state I live in, I’m thinking of supporting this Constitution Party candidate-

Exactly. This is probably a rumor started by
Brit Hume and Chris Wallace, both competing
to be Milt’s FOX-Bain Anchor-Wives-in-Training.

[RitaOK]

I think you are right about Romney’s own Marxist leanings getting a pass, simply because he isn’t Obama, whereas Obama would be opposed tooth and nail should we gain the numbers to do so.

I hear now that Romney is bringing in an openly quere guy as an advisor on military matters for the campaign.

Romney never bothered with going Right during the primary, so imagine the contest ahead, between him and Obama, seeing who can out-Left the other.

There’s nothing remotely rational about the ABO crowd.

You sure have that backwards.

[dinodino]

Too bad. Guess I won’t cast a vote for a Presidential candidate.
