Romney Saw Newt’s Concession Coming

Mitt Romney was not surprised to hear Newt Gingrich’s near concession Monday. After all, the two Republican presidential candidates talk frequently—sometimes even with their wives in tow. Romney is pretty confident that the former House speaker will come to his aid in the general election, but he’s less certain about Rick Santorum—they don’t talk that much. “I call him, he calls me, we exchange congratulations. And we’ve had a chance to chat from time to time, and we continue to have a personal respect for one another.”
