Gingrich: 176K donors want me to stay in race

Source: CBS This Morning

Newt Gingrich has been battling calls for him to drop out of the Republican presidential race, after losing both the Mississippi and Alabama primaries Tuesday. But the former House Speaker said today his campaign will continue up to the party's convention in Tampa.

When asked by Charlie Rose under what circumstances he would end his campaign before the convention, Gingrich replied, "Probably none."

"I have 176,000 donors," he said. "Everywhere I went in Illinois yesterday, people came up to me and said, 'Please stay in the race, please represent big ideas, please represent things like $2.50 a gallon gas, a personal Social Security fund.'"

1. Newt, I sincerely want you to stay in the race too.

Don't let the establishment take you out! Fight all the way to the convention! And while you're at it, please give us as much material as possible as to why the other two would make a lousy president.

Kiss kiss!
