Fox News is reporting that sources inside his campaign say presidential candidate Newt Gingrich will end his campaign next week.
After losing big to Mitt Romney Tuesday, Georgia's Newt Gingrich plans to formally leave the Republican presidential race next week, according to Fox news. It is also reported that he will "more than likely," endorse Romney when he makes the announcement. The decision comes on the heals of Romney sweeping the five primaries Tuesday, making it statistically impossible for Gingrich to prevent him for garnering the 1,144 delegates needed to secure the nomination. He is expected to complete his North Carolina schedule next week before making the formal announcement on Tuesday. Gingrich, as a native son, was the popular choice in the March 6 primary in Georgia. Statewide Gingrich garnered 47.4 percent of the vote. Last December during a straw…

Rick Santorum Announced he's dropping out of the presidential race Tuesday. Should Georgia's Newt Gingrich bow out as well?
On Tuesday afternoon, Rick Santorum announced he's suspending his bid for the White House. USA Today reports Santorum said "We made the decision over the weekend to suspend this campaign." He continues,"While this presidential race is over for me, we are not done fighting... We are going to continue to fight for the Americans who stood up and gave us that air under our wings." Santorum said the hospitalization of his daughter Bella Friday night made him stop and think about his role as a parent. Since the former Pennsylvania Senator is suspending his campaign, he still will be able to raise funds. Meanwhile, Georgia's own Newt Gingrich is still on the campaign trail. On Sunday, the Huffington Post reported that Gingrich's campaign is …

In Suwanee, Gingrich calls Georgia crucial to his election hopes.
Updated Feb. 19, 2012 Calling President Obama the "most dangerous president in modern American history," Newt Gingrich made bold statements on the current administration and his presidential plans in a speech Saturday in Suwanee. The talk followed an earlier Gingrich rally Saturday in Forsyth County. The former U.S. House speaker was introduced to the crowd of about 400 people at Collins Hill High by Atlanta-based businessman Herman Cain, who ended his presidential campaign in December and recently threw his support behind Gingrich. Attacking Obama on several fronts, Gingrich said the president "refuses to tell the truth about people who want to hurt us." He said Obama's approach to national defense "is the most destructive unilateral …

The former candidate also will be on the scene at Collins Hill High.
Herman Cain, the Atlanta-based Republican who ended his presidential bid in December, will appear with Newt Gingrich at Gingrich's campaign appearance Saturday in Suwanee. Cain threw his support behind Gingrich in January. The event will be at at 11:30 a.m. at Collins Hill High (50 Taylor Road, Suwanee.) The event will be open to the public. "(Gingrich) is eager to see good conservatives in Gwinnett," said Susan Meyers, Gingrich's Southeast Communications Director. "Gwinnett is a strong base of support for his campaign." To participate in the Republican precinct meeting Saturday, however, one must be a registered voter and get in line before 10 a.m., Meyers said.

The GOP presidential candidate will take his campaign to Suwanee Saturday.
Newt Gingrich, casting an eye toward his former home state as Super Tuesday approaches, will make a campaign stop in Suwanee this week. The former U.S. House speaker from Georgia will be at Collins Hill High on Saturday, Feb. 18, from 11:30-12:15. This comes not long after a scheduled stop in Cumming on Saturday, according to a campaign spokesperson. Most major polls show Gingrich running behind Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum in the quest to oppose President Obama in November. A New York Times delegate count shows Ginrich in third place. So Super Tuesday (March 6) takes on added importance, as Georgia and Virginia, now Gingrich's home state, are among the 11 states scheduled to vote that day.
