Gingrich Surges

Beaufort, S.C.

Newt Gingrich was a few minutes late to his appearance this morning at Waterfront Park in historic downtown Beaufort. The large, excited crowd waited patiently as Gingrich sat in his campaign bus to finish watching Rick Perry’s concession speech. When he finally emerged and took to the stage, he opened with an announcement.

“It was great to have Governor Perry speak so well about endorsing me just a few minutes ago as he withdrew from the campaign,” Gingrich said.
