Gingrich: The GOP Primary Battle Will Last Another ‘Six or Eight Months’

ORLANDO, Fla. – Don’t expect Gingrich to go away any time soon. Whatever happens in Florida, he’s digging in for the long, long haul.
At a visit to a polling station in Orlando, I asked Newt Gingrich how much longer the battle for the Republican nomination will go on. He told me “six or eight months” and then added: “unless Romney drops out earlier.”
When I asked what he says to those who say the race will effectively be over if he loses big in Florida, Gingrich said, “You mean those who said I was dead in June? Those who said I was dead in December? They are about as accurate as they were the last two times they were wrong.”
Gingrich added, “I’m not going to lose big in Florida.”

Do these republican candidates have any ideas on how to help get us out of this recession, fix the housing markets or reduce unemployment except going back to the Bush administration policies. All they do is talk about each other’s personal traits. They can’t debate issues or ideas because they have none.

Let’s hope Newton is right. The entertainment value is off the charts here.
