That's funny, I thought I'd heard on the radio this morning he's a Gingrich man.  WSJ says it's so:

Maybe he's doubling down in Vegas

He knows, as we all do, that Gingrich is so unlikable that Romney will take it.  He just wants to be on the winning side of politics as far as he can go without endorsing Obama.

I wonder if Gingrich will have his security detail stomp on the Donald's insteps if he doesn't get the endorsement.

More I think about it, Gingrich reminds me of Baby Huey with a bad temper.

Threadwinner.  Awesome.

Here's a prediction for you: Ron Paul is finally forced to confront his previously expressed racism when it comes out that he has been working closely with white power groups like Stormfront.

Not much of a prediction at this point, though.

Edited to add: Thanks anonymoose for shining light where it was not previously shining.

Per CNN tweet:

We're minutes away from Donald Trump's endorsement of Mitt Romney

Those cats at CNN need to take a look in the mirror and ask themselves if they can still have some self respect.

DNC Turns Trump's Romney Endorsement Into a Curse

The Democratic National Committee wasted no time in turning Donald Trump's endorsement of Mitt Romney into a curse for the GOP frontrunner.

In a low-budget ad, the DNC shows many criticisms Trump made of Romney over the past year, including a comment Trump made to the Washington Post criticizing the former Massachusetts governor for having a history of "eliminating jobs rather than creating them," and another comment Trump made that Romney "doesn't have a chance at the nomination." [See a collection of political cartoons on the 2012 GOP hopefuls.]

What do Romney and Trump have in common? "They both like firing people," the DNC says.

It's followed by various clips of Trump delivering his signature 'You're Fired' line on his television show "The Apprentice" and a comment Romney made while campaigning in New Hampshire regarding private insurance companies.

"I want individuals to have their own insurance," he said. "That means the insurance company will have an incentive to keep you healthy. It also means if you don't like what they do, you can fire them. I like being able to fire people who provide services to me."

Sure makes the Gingrich camp look stupid.  I wonder if Newt is throwing a hissy fit in his suite at the Wynn right now?

He's stomping toes like nobody's business.

"Hey toady, the fat woman's knee wants to stomp on your feet."

BREAKING: Newt Gingrich has de-friended Donald Trump on Facebook.  Sources say he has also torn up all of their pictures together and thrown all of his presents in the trash.
