Addressing supporters in Alabama, Newt Gingrich made an open call for the Republican nomination to be decided by a contested convention, with Mitt Romney blocked from winning a majority of delegates.

“So you have my promise, at a time when I hope this evening we have ended any news media talk of the inevitability of their handpicked candidate. at a time when we can forget about trying to nominate a Massachusetts moderate.

“And start talking about: When the primaries are over, and it’s clear no one person has won, who would do a best job of representing America, governing, and winning the election against Barack Obama.”
