Gingrinch: "I will go all the way to the convention. I expect to win the nomination"

[DCBob]

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - Former House Speaker said he plans to go all the way to the Republican National Convention, regardless of what happens on Tuesday, when GOP voters in Florida decide who they want to take on President Obama in November.

"I will go all the way to the convention. I expect to win the nomination," Gingrich told reporters after a rally here when he was asked about his campaign's plans if he loses to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney on Tuesday.

"Why don't you ask Gov. Romney what he is going to do if he loses, since he is behind in both national polls" which show Gingrich in the lead, he replied.

=============

What a lovely mess the GOPers are in!

1. I'm lovin' the mess and stink they

created for themselves.

[Joe Bacon]

2. Newt's going "all the way" with his mistress!

[Frustratedlady]

3. I agree...quite a show!

I think we should all invest in Redenbacher popcorn!

You heard it here first!

4. Good. Then his oversized ego will deflate, once it's apparent he isn't the nominee

Should be fun watching though.

5. Only if your delegate totals are at least as good as Romney's, Newt

And I hope Newt is smart enough to realize that nothing will "go to the convention" unless the GOP wants it to.

6. I encourage both Mitt Gingrich and Newt Romney

to battle to the near-death for the duration ...

Maybe that will save the Dems some money for the home stretch ... but then, all we might need to do for campaign commercials is play clips of the Republican debates ...

14. I don't know about that, the protracted Democratic primary in 2008...

...didn't really hurt the Democrats chances.

7. Which convention?

The one on the Moon?

8. It's what he's said all along

Even after his campaign tanked last summer. He's completely full of himself, and the tea partiers love that about him.

[Bucky]

9. God I love that man. He just don't quit.

Never count him out. He won't win; but he won't quit. He reminds me of the Japanese war cabinet in the summer of 1945. Just because there's not a plausible win scenario doesn't mean you can't fight till you're entirely obliterated.

IF Newt can't win in the biggest state in the south, he can't win. But then again, no one ever votes for any Republican because of a firm commitment to acknowledging reality.

12. Even more like the Japanese soldier hiding out on Guam until 1972.

He wasn't gonna surrender, no way.

Newt won't surrender, either; he'll go down fighting. Let's hope he takes the rest of the GOP with him.

[Bucky]

10. Alternative theory: Newt leaves the Republican Party

for a younger, healthier political party.

[Drunken Irishman]

11. I don't think he has the money to go all the way to the convention...

He's delusional. He'll say it, but I bet he's forced to dropout by the end of February. He's broke and even with all the money that casino mogul is spending to prop up his floundering campaign, it's still not going to be enough.

[DCBob]

13. Yes, I think you may be right.

Candidates always say they are in it for the long haul.. even just days before they drop out.
