Apparently Newt Gingrich doesn’t mind being trounced by Mitt Romney in the Nevada caucus; he said things are going quite well, actually, thank you very much. “What happens is every primary day or caucus day, the Romney headquarters in Boston sends out the rumor that they believe I will withdraw, which of course is their greatest fantasy,” Gingrich said in an unusual news conference Saturday night, after Romney declared victory in Nevada. “I'm not going to withdraw. I’m actually pretty happy with where we are.” Gingrich lost to Romney by 25 points in Nevada, but says he would not “defend the outcome in a state where I was outspent 5–1.”
