On Sunday Newt Gingrich was interviewing with Fox News’ Mike Wallace, when he let go this bomb:

Well, I think you have to be realistic, given the size of his organization, given the number of primaries he’s won. He is far and away, the most likely Republican nominee. And if he does get to 1,144 delegates, I’ll support him. I’ll do everything I can this fall to help him defeat Obama.

With that said, Gingrich has all but declared his campaign over.  It’s actually been over for some time, since before he won South Carolina, even, but to see him basically say it is something else. At this point, I hope nobody is seriously thinking of voting for him in the upcoming primaries.| MORE ›

I think Barack Obama should dump Joe Biden as his vice presidential running mate and immediately replace him with Newt Gingrich. After all, their respect toward the people who rule on the constitutionality of the United States’ laws are about on par with each other.| MORE ›

Following tonight humiliating defeat of Mitt Romney, I think we’ve seen once and for all why we can’t just declare a winner now and get it over with (sorry, Michael). It’s not over, not by a long shot.  There are still many states to go, and from what I can tell, it will take each and every one of them before a nominee is decided.| MORE ›

There is a growing perception that this primary season is all but decided; that Mitt Romney is already the presumptive nominee. Indeed, our own Michael van der Galien is of this opinion. However, I must disagree with Michael. While things certainly look that way right now, there is a lot of time between now and August, when the convention will be held, and many primaries and caucuses left to go through.| MORE ›

Now that the Puerto Rico primaries have given Romney all 23 of their delegates (not a surprising conclusion), we’ve more or less come upon the half way point of the primary cycle. At 516 delegates, Mitt Romney’s lead seems to be insurmountable, but you can bet that the other candidates are going to try their hardest to make sure he doesn’t get to 1,147 delegates by convention time.| MORE ›

With all of the baggage Gingrich has, the one piece that has been the most difficult for him to set aside has been the question over his participation in the Washington influence industry. We, quite unusually, find ourselves in the middle of an election in which the most burning concern has been the cozy relationship between special interests and the government.| MORE ›

Mitt Romney’s opponents in the Republican field have taken to the tactics of the Democrats. They’ve started attacking his image as a businessman, calling him a “predatory capitalist,” and issue damning proclamations about his time at Bain Capital, a private equity firm he co-founded.| MORE ›
