(CBS News) Newt Gingrich won't appear with Mitt Romney when the former House speaker makes his scheduled official departure from the GOP race on Wednesday -- but he might do such an event soon.

Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond said Monday that the two camps are currently having discussions about a joint event in the near future.

Both men are expected to be in Northern Virginia on Wednesday. Romney will hold a public event that morning in Chantilly, while Gingrich's farewell event will likely be elsewhere in the area in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, Romney's last remaining major rival, Rep. Ron Paul, is still not ready to say whether he'll support Romney if the former Massachusetts governor is nominated.

"It depends on a lot of ideas, and what his platform is going to be," Paul told Bloomberg Television. "If I disagree with every single thing in his platform, it's going to be tough. If it's 100 percent opposite on everything I have said on civil liberties, on war issues, on spending cuts, on monetary policy, you know, what can I do?"

Paul continued to rebuff calls that he join Gingrich in dropping out. "We have millions of people now supporting our campaign, and millions that haven't been heard from because they're independents and Democrats that are unhappy with Obama," he said.

There will NEVER ...... be ..... a Romney administration!

Romney can NOT ever be our president .... he can NOT win!

In a three way race Mitt would run THIRD .... wake UP ... old guard.

Only the most "yellow dog" old guard, dedicated republicans will back Mitt .

Reliable polls show that 22% of AMERICAN voters will NEVER vote for a Mormon.
Probably a unfair prejudice BUT life is not always fair.

ONLY Dr Paul can attract voters outside the GOP and win the General election.

A new and better ( much better ) way to elect a president ....

Newt just wants some payola.

Maybe Mitt can use his Swiss account for this one...

Gingrich has over 4.5 million reasons to cut a deal with ANYBODY that can stand to be in the same room with him for more than 5 mins.

Maybe after November Texas and Arizona will sober up? They're like Mel Gibson at a passover parade.

They would have a lot more fun with a real campout and burgers instead of another luxury hotel suite with overstuffed mattresses.

Whatever one thinks of Obama, and however bad off this country is at present, a Romney-Gingrich administration would be nothing short of utter catastrophe for America and the world. The best---possibly only---reason to vote for Obama is to prevent that from happening.

Gingrich is a cheap prostitute. Mitt would be wise to give him a very wide berth

[RandallRichard]

So Newt is now going to endorse the guy he called a liar. OK that should be interesting.

[dj_chi]

Well the GOP doesn't have a problem with lying. Just being lied about.

[greco99-2009]

Newt was right -- Romney is 'fundamentally dishonest'.

Santorum was right -- 'Obama is better'.

Gingrich, Romney camps talking about future joint event = Set to announce plans for Moon Base One and Moon statehood by middle of Mittens' second term.
