GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich 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.

Romney is surging in Florida, after losing badly to Gingrich in South Carolina January 21.

Gingrich pledged to continue campaigning "state by state."

You got to be kidding ! I heard it before in the Kennedy - Nixon race but I am still shocked to hear " I am voting for him because he is handsome" . Wake up lady ! If Mitt Romney looks like Barbie's Ken that does NOT qualify Mitt Romney to be President of The United States. OMG how shallow ..............

Additionally pollster Towery said Gingrich is doing "substantially better" with men than Romney, 38 to 28, but the former House Speaker still faces a "gender gap," as women are still favoring Romney.

Please Ladies think about this. Ken Oups ! I mean Mitt Romney was empty whole companies into his pockets putting working women and men into the streets. Then sent their jobs to China and Mexico. Mitt Romney was also raided retirement funds and put the money in his pockets also robbing women and men of security in their Golden Years. Mitt Romeny is receiving the working women and men sweat and blood at a rate of over $51,000 DOLLARS a DAY as income !!!!! Anything goes to make a dollar is NOT Capitalism. The drug dealer or corporate raider are both wrong. The business venture was three separate parameters is it moral, ethical, or legal. The drug dealer is immoral and illegal. Mitt Romney is immoral and unethical. Mitt Romney is not and NEVER was in business to create jobs. Mitt Romney wants to make money and any human cost incurred is inconsequential. That includes human cost to women who think Mitt Romney should be President because he is handsome or looks like Ken.

Ladies PLEASE reconsider !!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot is a stake here.

That's one of the true things he's said.

"Gingrich: I will go all the way to Republican convention"

Yup. He will be there. He just won't be a candidate.

He might be a door greeter or something.

He may "go all the way to the Republican National Convention" but, once he gets there, he'll discover that he lacks credentials to get inside. He'll want to pitch a tent and camp out in front of the doors, but Callista will refuse because she didn't bring enough hair spray with her.

Anyone who votes in the GOP primaries should now be highly medicated -- it's the only way to make any kind of decision concerning who is the more evil of the four.
