Gingrich on MTP.... Gregory asks about his comment on conservatives consolidating behind one candidate to beat Romney. Texas is still up in the air between Santorum/Gingrich. SC picked Santorum, but the vote was close between the two camps.
Debates (tomorrow and Thursday) will help his chances in SC. Gregory reviewing NH results says voters did not want Gingrich, how could Gingrich call Romney unelectable? (Maybe because NH is not a conservative state, David?)
Gregory asks Gingrich about the ups and downs of his campaign. Newt says he finally realized that there has to be some level of negativity to counter Romney’s attacks. On the Bain film, Newt has encouraged the PAC to edit the film to correct mistakes. Newt is not backing down on running the documentary, just wants it corrected. Newt points out that Romney’s ad against Newt (Iowa, I believe) had 4 mistakes in a 30 second commercial vs. 4 mistakes in the Bain 27 minute documentary.
He explained the Romney win but no landslide in NH by stating that Romney has a home there, spends time there and ran Mass right next door for several years,they were neighbors.
Many in the media have tried to pyramid their desire to anoint Mitt for us by using Iowa and NH neither of which,IMHO, are anything close to bell weather predictors but just the opposite.Now Fla. that will be another story. That's the state to watch.
