Gingrich Adviser: Romney Should Quit Race, Leave It To Conservatives

Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign has an interesting response to a call from the super PAC supporting Rick Santorum for the former House speaker to exit the race. It’s front-runner Mitt Romney who should say sayonara, says Gingrich policy adviser Vince Haley, Politico reports.

The pro-Santorum Red, White and Blue Fund put out a statement Wednesday urging Gingrich to stand aside, so that the former Pennsylvania senator can stand as the former Massachusetts governor’s sole conservative challenger.

Haley, appearing on Geraldo Rivera’s radio program, would have none of it. But his first response was to take on Romney rather than Santorum. “It’s clear that the voters” aren’t coalescing around the front-runner, Haley said.

“I think he [Romney] should bow out of the race so that conservatives can have a debate” about how to confront Obama, he said. “It’s Mitt Romney who’s screwing up this race, and it’s his establishment support” that is keeping him afloat against the electorate’s wishes.

Haley didn’t exactly blow kisses to Santorum either, Politico reports. He said Santorum helped “squander” the balanced federal budget achieved when Gingrich was House speaker. Gingrich tops Santorum in appealing to both the hearts and minds of conservative voters, Haley said.

The same can be said for Gingrich and his repeated requests that Santorum drop out.

Yes, but what does it say about you, since you are posting the same?

Two wrongs to make a right, cc.

All the posters, both Newt and Santorum posters that are sniping at each other need to stop this nonsense NOW!

Gingrich or Santorum are not the enemy, MITT IS!

STOP ACTING LIKE CHILDREN AND UNITE TO DESTROY MITT'S CHANCES AT THE NOMINATION!!!!

[SoConPubbie]

All of you need to stop sniping at each other and at Newt or Rick.

Rick or Newt is not the enemy, Mitt “Progressive Liberal” Romney is the enemy.

Stop this childness and unite in the common goal of destroying Mitt’s chances at the nomination.

Lean on your candidate and your fellow supporters to stop this NOW!

Time is short!

Contact your candidate and implore him to figure out a way to work with the other candidate to make sure that Mitt is not the nominee.

Stop acting like children, let’s get serious about beating Mitt Romney.

You might want to take a look at the rabid hatefest that goes on in the pro Gingrich threads. I've held my tongue until now and I'm done doing it.

You need to put aside the righteous indignation and start looking at the big picture, defeating Mitt ROmney.

All you, and everyone else taking part in this nonsense is doing is harming any chance that a conservative wins the nomination.

Please, join me in trying to stop this behavior and joining the to sides in the real important fight of defeating Mitt Romney.

i AGREE, i THINK THESE TWO CLOWNS, YES rICK AND nEWT, HAVE TO MAKE A COORDINATED EFFORT TO CASLL FOR rOMNEY TO EITHER DROP OUT OR MOVE TO THE dEMOCRAT PARTY AT THE VERY LEAST.

Sorry for the caps, Darn new keyboard!

That is the biggest crock of Horse Sh!t I have heard in a long time.

Most of the states that remain are NOT winner take all. Romney has won ONLY in states that are Left leaning, outside Ohio, and where their is an inordinate number of Morman voters. Let’s face it HE LOST OHIO, he only will get half the delegates if that.

Outside of the Northeast, he has never gotten more than 50% of the vote where he wasn’t governor or wasn’t the only one on the ballot.

He now enters the deap South where it is altogether possible that he could finish third or even dead last in most or even all the Southern states. It is far from over!

Gingrich and Santorum MUST call for Romney to exit the race!!!!!!!!!!!

Its always the same people posting this kind of crap and they’ve gone right down the line attacking every single candidate the same way.

I agree with you. This was a Business Investors article I found and thought people should have heads up on what they are saying. I forgot to put my comment below on the orginal post. My fault.
