Dec. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has largely refrained from attacking Republican rivals in the race for the party’s presidential nomination, signaled that he is ready to confront Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor favored in early contests.
While he may not win in New Hampshire, Gingrich said, he can’t skip the nation’s first primary election. “Each race generates a wave of national media,” Gingrich said. “My goal is to have this become a race between a Massachusetts moderate and a Georgia conservative.”
“The trick is to relax and gradually consolidate the conservatives,” Gingrich said.
A CNN/Time/ORC International poll of likely Iowa caucus- goers released yesterday showed Gingrich in fourth place in Iowa, with 14 percent support. Romney held a lead, with 25 percent. He was followed by Paul, with 22 percent, and former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania with 16 percent. The poll of 452 likely caucus-goers was conducted Dec. 21-27 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.
“It’s all going to be turmoil until Tuesday night,” Gingrich said yesterday on the campaign trail in Sioux City. “On Tuesday, probably a third to half the people that walk in will be open to changing their minds about all of us.”.....snip~

Gingrich has filed a suit in Virginia as has Perry since both did not have enough signatures to get on the ballot. So he now has to spend money for that. Plus get his campaign organized, up and running. He pretty much is walking away from Iowa. Focusing his terminology on the First Primary of the Election.
Naturally the Media is making more out of than there really is. Moreover Gingrich showed one of his hold card. Which is he will not Support Ron Paul if he wins the Nomination. To me if Paul did win it would be due to all the GOP standing with him. Which then Puts Mr Gingrich at odds with all other Republicans and Conservatives. Doesnt it?
