The Romney campaign is feeding today off House minority leader Nancy Pelosi’s cryptic “there is something I know” comment in a CNN interview last night about Newt Gingrich never becoming president, which we brought to you last night.
Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said Pelosi meant nothing other than that she knows the Newt will never be prez.
“The ‘something’ Leader Pelosi knows is that Newt Gingrich will not be President of the United States,” Hammill said in a statement. “She made that clear last night.”
“Leader Pelosi previously made a reference to the extensive amount of information that is in the public record, including the comprehensive committee report with which the public may not be fully aware,” Hammill said, helpfully providing yet another link to the public Ethics Committee report on Gingrich, who was fined $300,000 and was the only House Speaker ever to be reprimanded by the committee.
To recap, CNN’s John King asked Pelosi, “Because of your history with Speaker Gingrich, what goes through your mind when you think of the possibility, which is more real today than it was a week or a month ago, that he would be the Republican nominee and that you could come back here next January or next February with a President Gingrich?”
Pelosi replied, “Let me just say this. That will never happen.” … KING: “Why are you so sure?” PELOSI: “There is something I know. The Republicans, if they choose to nominate him that’s their prerogative.”
Romney told Fox News today, ““I wish I knew what that (Pelosi’s ‘something’ was. I’d tell people what it is right now.” Romeny called for release of “all of the transcripts, all of the records” of the Ethics Committee investigation to be made public.

“Jumps” belongs in that title.
I think it just may be his “jump the shark” moment.
Grasping at straws Romney.......
This guy is demonstrating his absolute unwavering loyalty to the Washington establishment, admitting he's now taking cues from Nine-Percent Nancy.
Romney supports Pelosi, Newt call Romney insensitive to illegals.
...Sigh
The headline should read:
“Romney Resorts to Taking His Talking Points from Nancy Pelosi”
"You don't bring me flowers, anymore."
With regard to Pelosi, I wish Gingrich would just say something like: “Anyone who has attained the position of Speaker of the House, and then tells the American people in all seriousness that ‘we must pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it,’ is not someone that American voters should ever take seriously about anything.”
Jumping the couch, so to speak.
I misunderstood the premise. I actually thought Romney was going to condemn Pelosi for trying to manipulate the Republican primaries, not ask her for her help.
Rommey is not only driving me not to vote for him in the general if Romney is the nominee but now he's driving me to actually get up, go out and vote for Obama if he is the nominee.
She doesn’t know Jack Sn!t.
They rely on innuendo and inference for the smear.
Myth’s Magic Underpants are in a wad as he sees the nomination slipping away and he’s playing his role perfectly as a foil for the opposition.
Can’t we just enjoy one day where Pelosi might actually know something in her botoxed out brain?
“I think it just may be his “jump the shark” moment.”
Indeed. Especially since Newt has already told Nancy to “put up or shut up.”
This was not a wise move on Mittens part.
Nancy Pelosi is a lying bitc@
Is it too late to draft Jim Demint?
He would have no trouble winning all the remaining races.
Yeah
LOL
San Fran Nan has all kinds of creds with her liberal friend Williard Mitt Romney
Bet he “donated” to her campaign
Wants her endorsment...
how desparate does he get ???
As expected.
But Newt took some of the sting away by daring her to pull the trigger.
