Newt should announce Sarah his VP like John McCain did. If she was good enough then, she is good enough now.

Bring back the Tea Party.

Where is the Tea Party Support for Gingrich?

Gingrich is under water financially and politically and he needs a partner. I don't understand, why wait conventionally to annoint a VP after winning the nomination when Gingrich could do it now and gain TP support?

Mr. Gingrich told Bloomberg News that most of that money had been spent and that he had only about $600,000 on hand, which will severely limit his options as the campaign moves to multiple states. He is $1.2 million in debt, much of it owed to charter aircraft companies and consultants.

The Gingrich campaign is banking on its ability to accumulate delegates, even if in a drip, drip, drip fashion, and to demonstrate enough strength until voting takes place in a succession of Southern states starting on Super Tuesday, March 6. The South is where Mr. Gingrich’s perceived strength lies, with his big victory in South Carolina on Jan. 21 as Exhibit A.

If he can hold on until Super Tuesday, his campaign believes, Mr. Gingrich could get a jolt of energy from Georgia, the state he represented in Congress, with its 76 delegates. After that, his campaign says, he is well positioned for Texas, which will vote on April 3 and offers 155 delegates. Both states award their delegates proportionally.

“The campaign is shifting to a new phase where opportunities are not limited to a single state,” Martin Baker, Mr. Gingrich’s national political director, wrote in a statement.

“The proportional nature of the upcoming contests essentially guarantees that no candidate will secure the nomination any time soon,” he added.

Gingrich did not offer congratulations to Mr. Romney after all of Florida's 50 delegates went to Romney.
