Newt Gingrich is committed to making sure Mitt Romney isn't the Republican nominee for president of the United States. But on Tuesday, he failed to win two states that many had said were crucial to his victory. His closest advisers, though, say Gingrich will stay in until the convention because Mitt Romney can't be the parties nominee.
