Ann Romney rode the momentum of her husband's wins Tuesday in Arizona and Michigan to Smokejack's in downtown Alpharetta on Thursday. An overflow crowd heard a message of family values and confidence that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will win the Republican nomination and beat President Barack Obama. "This is our message. This is what we are going to do, and this is our purpose," she said. "Our purpose is to go out and save America. And I'm proud to get that out every single day." What about Rick Santorum? He made a final appeal for Georgia votes Thursday before flying out to Washington state to campaign there. The former Pennsylvania senator's final stop was DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, which his campaign temporarily transformed …

Is the former House speaker strong enough to win all 76 of the state's delegates?
Thursday, March 1, 2012
Newt Gingrich says that if he's elected president, he will draw on methods he used as House speaker in the late 1990s to lead the country.
Hopeful Republican presidential nominee Newt Gingrich told his former constituents at Thursday’s Cobb Chamber of Commerce breakfast that if elected he’d attempt turn back the clock to his days as former House speaker. “First, let’s go back to 1998,” he said. “We need to control spending, reform government and balance the federal budget for a generation. This isn’t a theory. It’s what we did. So we know it’s doable. We in this room have been there. This was in our lifetime. Cobb County can take some credit for it because, candidly, if you hadn’t elected me, it wouldn’t have happened. Clearly we were all in this together.” Gingrich represented Georgia’s 6th Congressional District for 20 years, four of those as speaker of the House. While …

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich conducted the first campaign blitz of his old Georgia stomping grounds Saturday, and Patch was with him at every stop. Accompanied by Herman Cain, a fellow Georgian who dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Gingrich, the former House speaker swept through Forsyth, Gwinnett and Cobb counties during the day to rally support for the Republican presidential primary March 6. In addition, his wife, Callista, rallied supporters in Buckhead. The highlights of the day: Cain fired up the crowd by saying Gingrich’s economic plan is the closest thing left in the campaign to his own 9-9-9 tax plan. Gingrich won support with his call for tapping American oil reserves to drive the price of …

But even his supporters and former constituents doubt whether the former House speaker can win.
Turnout was heavy for a rally held by Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich in his home state Saturday, but some of his former Cobb County constituents are unsure whether he can win Georgia's presidential primary March 6, let alone the Republican nomination. Gingrich served as Georgia’s 6th Congressional District representative for 20 years, four of those as speaker of the House. In the rally held in his former district at the Atlanta Marriott Northwest, he touted his congressional record. “These are three numbers: $1.13, 4.2 and four,” he said. “One dollar and thirteen cents was the price of gasoline on average when I was speaker. Four-point-two percent was the unemployment rate when I left office. And four was the number of …

A mass rally for presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, will be held in Glover Park on Feb. 26. Paul finished second, followed by Jon Huntsman, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, in the New Hampshire Primary on Tuesday, Concord Patch reports. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was declared the winner. The rally in Marietta will showcase a host of music performers and guest speakers who support Paul's campaign efforts. “Ron Paul is a messenger with a very popular message—Liberty," James Bell, organizer of the event, said in a news release. “Ron Paul is connecting with many disenfranchised voters who are sick of the status quo.” Hundreds from all over the Southeast are expected to attend the rally, Bell said in the release…

The Cobb County state legislator denies that Mitt Romney's Mormon faith affects her presidential preference.
State Rep. Judy Manning apologized Thursday for her comments this week about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s Mormon religion. “I have made a terrible mistake with my reckless words,” the Marietta Republican, whose district runs into Kennesaw and West Cobb, wrote on her Facebook page. Those “reckless words” appeared in Wednesday’s Marietta Daily Journal in response to Romney’s eight-vote victory in the Iowa caucuses. “I think Mitt Romney is a nice man, but I’m afraid of his Mormon faith. It’s better than a Muslim,” said Manning, a supporter of Newt Gingrich’s. That comment popped out in a lengthy article about Cobb County lawmakers’ thoughts on the Republican presidential race. It came amid continuing questions over whether …

Former House Speaker from East Cobb shrugs off departure of key campaign staff.
Newt Gingrich may have lost most of his top campaign aides in a shocking departure last week, but the former House Speaker from East Cobb is vowing to continue with his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. A total of 16 aides -- including his Atlanta-based campaign manager and spokesman -- resigned en masse, questioning Gingrich's commitment to the race just as he and his wife returned from a cruise vacation in the Greek islands. Instead of addressing the matter directly, Gingrich took aim at President Barack Obama and summoned support from Jewish Republican voters before appearing in Monday's GOP presidential debate in New Hampshire. One voter said that "Gingrich redeemed himself in my eyes," but was impressed more with …
