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.

Last Night's Republican Debate: The Mitt & Newt Clown Show /


Mitt Romney, left, began the debate Monday with attacks against Newt Gingrich.
Last night at the Florida Republican debate, it was all about Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.  If you haven’t been following my posts about the Republican primary then shame on you! Now I have to bring you up to speed. Right now, we have four candidates left—all fighting for their party’s nomination for president—Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. Romney will be the likely nominee, but since this campaign began there have been several candidates to shoot up in the polls and knock Romney off of his front-runner thrown. For the second time, Newt Gingrich has been that man. After his win against Romney in the South Carolina primary, Gingrich has the entire Republican Party biting their nails, hoping he doesn’t win the party’s nomination. Why? Because deep down, Republicans know that Gingrich’s arrogant tone, extreme positions and racial remarks will never win a general election against President Obama. Like all of the ones before, last night’s debate was a clown show—and even though it was missing two of the biggest political clowns in the Republican Party (Michele Bachmann & Rick Perry) it still managed to entertain from beginning to end. Mitt Romney decided to prove to the people that he was tough by ripping into Newt Gingrich—not for his alleged infidelities—but for the lobbying (influencing laws in order to benefit a company) that he did for Freddie Mac. The video below shows some of the toughest blows Romney has thrown throughout the campaign. This is good stuff!
