FILE - In this Jan. 21, 2012, file photo Republican presidential candidate and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with his wife Callista waves to the crowd at a Republican presidential primary night rally in Columbia, S.C., a primary he went on to easily win. GOP primary voters have spent the past six weeks lurching toward one candidate and then another in an exercise of political soul-searching that appears far from settled. The next contests, in Arizona and Michigan, aren't until Feb. 28; the party with a reputation for order may have it sorted out after March 6, when 10 states get their say. But that would break sharply with this race's tendency toward uncertainty. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke, File)
