BATON ROUGE, La. – Newt Gingrich spoke up in defense of Mitt Romney Thursday night, insisting any Republican presidential candidate would be a better president than Barack Obama.
"I want to start with something Rick said tonight that I frankly was very surprised that he said and that I hope he's taking back,” Gingrich told the Baton Rouge Tea Party event crowd referring to Rick Santorum’s comments earlier today.
Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum told a crowd of supporters in Texas Thursday that the GOP might be better off sticking with President Obama than "taking a risk" on Mitt Romney, who he referred to as the "Etch A Sketch candidate."
Santorum, addressing a crowd in San Antonio, Texas this afternoon took a swipe at Romney, saying, "If you’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate of the future.”
But Gingrich argued that re-electing Obama would be a “disaster” and Republicans have an obligation to do better.
Speaking on the campus of Louisiana State University, the former House Speaker told the few hundred person crowd they have no choice.
“I may have some very substantial disagreements with Gov. Romney. There is no doubt in my mind that if the choice was Gov. Romney or Barack Obama, we would have no choice,” Gingrich said. “The danger of Obama is so great that I would hope that every candidate running – Ron Paul, Gov. Romney and Sen. Santorum – that we would all agree that whoever becomes the Republican nominee, we have one common goal and that is to defeat Barack Obama."
While Gingrich finds faults with his GOP rivals, he has told crowds throughout his campaign that any of the other candidates are superior to the current president.
In closing his speech tonight, Gingrich laid out why he believes he is still the best candidate to take on Obama in the fall.
“Getting Washington to change in fundamental ways is going to be very, very hard. You had better have somebody who wakes up every single morning prepared to fight. Because if you don’t have somebody who knows what they’re doing and has the willpower and the energy and the focus to do it, they’re going to make nice speeches and fail,” Gingrich said, noting that winning the Louisiana primary on Saturday would help reset this race once again.

Does anyone else remember Gingrich insulting and defaming Romney just a short while ago? According to Newt,...he was a bad choice, but now he's "on board" ???
What unMITTigated b*llsh*t !!
The GOP rhetoric lacks consistency and credibility.
They are simply willing to go with "antbody" who will put all of the power back in the hands of the wealthy.
99%ers: Let's rally around the president as we approach November.
Aren't you getting tired of the GOP brainwashing, my way or the highway rhetoric ?
Barack Obama 2012.
In this economy, anyone who thinks that the goal is to defeat Obama, and has nothing more tangible to offer as an alternative, they do not deserve to be President.
We still have serious problems to solve, and although the current administration has not performed without flaws, it is the absolute obligation of any challenger to prove they have a provably better solution and not just empty rhetoric, and "I'm not that guy".
Anyone who understands what has really been happening with the economy since September, 2008, also understands that in this political environment it would be very, very difficult for things to be much better than they are at this point.
Does anybody really need these crazies to admit they want to overthrow the government? They've already made it so painfully clear.
