NEW YORK, March 2, 2012— -- As Mitt Romney survives a scare in Michigan, the GOP presidential race barrels forward to Super Tuesday. Republican contender Newt Gingrich joins George Stephanopoulos to talk about his must-win week and whether he can break back into contention for the GOP nomination.

With 437 delegates at stake across 10 states, will Gingrich secure his home state of Georgia, and pick up any other Super Tuesday wins to sustain his march to the convention? And can he win outside of the South? See Newt Gingrich, Sunday on "This Week."

Plus, Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod speaks with George Stephanopoulos about the outlook for the general election. Will the long GOP primary battle leave a weakened Republican nominee, or will high gas prices and turmoil overseas derail President Obama's re-election hopes?

Then, our powerhouse roundtable with ABC's Christiane Amanpour and George Will, political strategist and ABC News contributor Donna Brazile, political strategist and ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd, Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, former Vermont Governor and founder of Democracy for America Howard Dean, and The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg debate all the week's politics.

Can Mitt Romney translate his Arizona and Michigan wins into success on Super Tuesday, or will Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich block his path to the nomination again? What does Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe's retirement signal about dysfunction in Congress? And Jeffrey Goldberg asks President Obama how far the United States is willing to go to prevent Iran from producing a nuclear weapon.
