Despite losses, Gingrich vows to stay in the race

Despite back-to-back primary losses in the Alabama and Mississippi primaries Tuesday night, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he has no plans to drop out - even while he acknowledged there will be calls for him to do so in the coming days.

Speaking to supporters in Birmingham after the polls closed, Gingrich was resolute about his intentions to stay in the race: "Obviously, we'd like to have come in first," he said. But, he noted, "because this is proportional representation, we're going to leave Alabama and Mississippi with a substantial number of delegates, increasing our total going towards Tampa."
