What's the big hurry?

I don't get all this anti-Newt rhetoric.  What the hell is the big hurry in getting Romney nominated?  I hope Newt stays in.  Also, for no other reason than to insure that Romney doesn't get the nomination. Furthermore, I wouldn't be too sad to see a third party challenge to also insure that he doesn't win the presidency.  So they are worried that the continuance of a Gingrich campaign would hurt Romney?  Well, maybe Romney should have thought of that before he opened his mouth.

So Gingrich should be a good sport and go home now?  So what if he stays in?  It seems like they want to make this personal, but I don't think Gingrich has taken it personally.  To the contrary, I think it is those who opposed Gingrich in the past who seemed to have taken it personally.  They must be projecting their own hostility upon Gingrich.  This interview on MSNBC doesn't look like a bitter man at all.

Gingrich needs to keep the pressure on Romney despite all the pressure on him to quit the race.  Romney didn't deserve to win in the way that he won.  Not because Romney is not nice, but because the way he did it was not good for the country.  It was not good for the country to have Gingrich's proposals for space reduced to an object of ridicule.

You won't see me fall into line.  Quite the opposite, as a matter of fact.

I believe playing it safe will not win.  It is a losing strategy.  Too many want to play it safe with Romney.  But that leaves you pretty much with what you already have.  Therefore a Romney victory in November would not mean much.  It is better to take some risks and go all out for a significant victory.



Update:

This was the news conference that some people seem to be criticizing. I can't see it.
