http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/04/nevada-caucus-2012-live-_n_1254067.html#77_gingrich-releases-postcaucus-scheduleLAS VEGAS -- When it was announced that Newt Gingrich would hold a press conference, rather than give a speech, Saturday night after the Nevada caucuses close, there was some speculation that the former House speaker would be bowing out of the race.
It would have been a bizarre way to go about exiting the campaign. Gingrich has been saying for days that he's staying in the race, perhaps even until the convention. And it's not as if his prospects in Nevada have slipped so dramatically that is being forced to re-assess -- his chance at victory here, after all, was always remote.
Sure enough, Gingrich's campaign put any chatter to rest soon thereafter by releasing next week's schedule, showing him travelling through Colorado, Minnesota, and Ohio before ending up at the CPAC convention in Washington D.C.
The schedule is below:
Monday, February 6th Golden, CO - 11:30 a.m. - Newt 2012 Rally Golden, CO - 2:00 p.m. - Address the Colorado Energy Summit
St. Paul, MN - 8:00 p.m. - Newt 2012 Rally
Tuesday, February 7th
Ohio - Newt & Callista will campaign in Cincinnati, Dayton & Columbus. Early voting for Ohio’s March 6th primary begins February 7th.
Wednesday, February 8th
Cleveland, OH - TBD - Newt 2012 Rally
Friday, February 10th
Washington, DC - 4:00 p.m. – Newt set to give remarks to CPAC 2012 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel.
