Gingrich to Newsmax: I'll Be a Big Delegate Winner on Super Tuesday

[phkrause]

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich tells Newsmax his campaign is likely to win a significant number of delegates in Super Tuesday's primaries and predicts that wins in several upcoming contests will put his campaign “in high gear.”

In a wide-ranging exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, the former speaker of the House also charges that GOP rival Mitt Romney is “very phony” in trying to defend his healthcare reform in Massachusetts, asserts that the United States can pay off its national debt by expanding domestic oil and gas production, says there likely is “very great tension” between the American and Israeli governments — and insists America must do whatever it takes to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Polls show Gingrich with a huge lead in his home state of Georgia, one of the states that is holding its GOP primary on Super Tuesday. The state has the most delegates up for grabs, 76.

Gingrich says his prospects in other states show he's heading for a comeback. With some states like the much-desired Ohio awarding delegates proportionately, not winner-take-all, Gingrich is hoping to carve for himself a significant number of the 419 delegates at stake Tuesday.

“I think we’ll do well enough tomorrow night to move on, " Gingrich said.

“I’ve said all along both for Governor Romney in Michigan and Senator Santorum in Pennsylvania, as well as myself, you pretty much have to cover your home state because that’s where folks know you best, and it now looks like we’re going to carry Georgia by four or five times the margin that Governor Romney got in Michigan,” he says.

Reality-distortion field clearly fully operational...

Personally, I hope he stays in the race a loooong time.

Because without him to split the 'conservative' vote, Santorum would have a much better chance of winning more states and more delegates over the next month and a half. He'll still win some, but by much smaller margins, giving Santorum's campaign much less momentum.

I think, barring something massive changing, Obama is going to be re-elected. But I would be *far* more comfortable with Romney as the Republican candidate than Santorum, even if he would be harder to beat. 'President Santorum' just doesn't bear thinking about.
