Bad Blood In the GOP? Newt Refuses to Congratulate Mitt On Florida Win /

The bad blood between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney was boiling last night as Romney claimed his second primary victory in Florida. It is standard protocol in politics for the person who loses the race to call the winner and congratulate them on their victory—it’s a way to keep the game from getting too nasty. During his concession speech, Gingrich refused to concede the race—never mentioning Romney’s victory. Gingrich has vowed to stay in the race, refusing to give Romney and easy win. The Obama campaign couldn’t be happier about Gingrich’s pledge. See, the longer Gingrich stays in the race, the more he bashes Romney, therefore softening him up for the general election. Even though Mitt Romney will more than likely be the nominee, it is amazing to watch his favorability ratings drop with each ad that Gingrich releases. Gingrich’s so called concession speech is below.
