Gingrich to Hold Town Hall and Lunch in Columbia

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Newt Gingirch’s last campaign stop in the Republican presidential race before Christmas is going to be in Columbia. The former U.S. House Speaker is having a town hall at Christmas lunch Friday at The Blue Marlin restaurant. Gingrich has led polls in South Carolina in recent weeks, but there hasn’t been a poll released since Gov. Nikki Haley announced she was endorsing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney last week. Saturday marks just four weeks until South Carolina’s first-in-the-South GOP primary.
