Romney Lowers Expectations, Says ‘Newt Will Win Some Primaries’

Published January 20, 2012 4:56pm ET



In an interview with radio host Laura Ingraham this morning, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney acknowledged that Newt Gingrich is likely going to win a few states over the course of the primary process.

“I will get the chance to post-up against Newt in not just the South, but of course the Midwest and the West and all over the country,” Romney told Ingraham. “I expect that Newt will win some primaries and contests, and I expect I will as well. My job is to make sure I get the most delegates by the time we’re finished—hopefully, 1,150 or so—and I have a path to do that. But I’m not expecting win them all.”
