Washington (CNN) – Newt Gingrich will officially end his bid for the Republican presidential nomination and formally express his support for Mitt Romney next week, two sources close to Gingrich tell CNN. While details are still being worked out, Gingrich is likely to hold his final campaign event Tuesday in Washington, DC where he will make the announcement surrounded by his family and supporters. It is not surprising that Gingrich is suspending his campaign for the White House as he has all but acknowledged it is winding down and Romney is the presumptive GOP nominee. "When he says he is transitioning, what he means is that he is trying to determine as a citizen how he will pro-actively help Mitt Romney become president and the Republican Party win back the Senate and help (House Speaker) John Boehner keep his majority in the House," said one of the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. It appears that Gingrich's focus will be much broader than the presidential campaign, as the former speaker, who made his name and career in the House, plans to be actively involved in helping the GOP take back control of both sides of Capitol Hill. "It is not enough to beat Barack Obama, we also have to help the Republican Party keep the majority in the House and win back the majority in the Senate," the source said. The decision to hold the event next week was due to logistical reasons, the sources said.

I'm staying away from FR and LP today, the NEOCON heads will be exploding all over the place.
Both forums have painted themselves into a corner on this one. Realistically, the only way they can stop people from siding one way or another in this race is to stand down and leave proponents for Romney alone. It is not reasonable to assume they can discuss the election season without doing this.
Oh hell, that is the only reason to visit those sites... LOL
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'! No kidding, the problem they have is that they've banned everyone who posted pro-romney or anti-newt articles. It's amusing that two "conservative" sites are posting more anti-romney threads then the people over at DU. The candidate who is probably the most conservative, Ron Paul, is also constantly hammered by the NEOCON elite. I'm wondering if romney has a chance at all if the 50 people who frequent the sites are against him.
Like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I don't want to miss it when jimrob does his 180 on romney.
I don't want to miss it when jimrob does his 180 on romney. Being in the Obama camp myself, I can help but be pleased with what I'm reading on FR for the moment. Yes, ole rimjob will fall into line soon enough.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'! He painted himself into this corner, and there is going to be wheelchair paint tracks everywhere when he tries to get out of this.
I'm betting the neocons will be talking smack about a "brokered" convention where newt will get the nomination and palin will be the vp candidate or vice versa.
