Newt Gingrich's campaign is sending a new check to cover his filing fee in Utah after the first one bounced.

Republican presidential contenders Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul are vowing to stay in the race even though Rick Santorum is not.Both men say they are the true conservative candidates to beat President Barack Obama in the November election.

Bowing to the inevitable, Rick Santorum quit the presidential campaign Tuesday, clearing the way for Mitt Romney to claim the Republican nomination. Santorum, appearing with his wife and family in his home state of Pennsylvania, told supporters the race for him was over, but the fight to defeat President Barack Obama would go on.

A leading House Republican said Tuesday he hasn't had a discussion with Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney about taking the No. 2 spot on the ticket this fall. Wisconsin's Congressman Paul Ryan said the subject hasn't come up, but said he enjoys working with the former Massachusetts governor, whom he has endorsed.

A Paul third-party candidacy would, barring some sort of unforeseen dynamic, likely hand President Obama a second term. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and his campaign team understand the power that Paul could wield and have gone out of their way to befriend him — and avoid alienating his supporters.

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich says he's being realistic when he says Mitt Romney is "far and away the most likely" GOP nominee, but Gingrich isn't ready to drop out.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, in what may be a grim development for his campaign, has lost the lead in his home state of Pennsylvania to front-runner Mitt Romney, according to a poll released on Thursday.

A Rick Santorum TV ad morphs an image of Obama into Romney, making the point that there are no policy differences between the two.

GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is joined by his latest supporter, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., as he tries to garner support before the state's upcoming caucuses.

As he struggles to find a balance between being an underdog and an embittered also-ran, Rick Santorum has been trying to modulate the fiery language that has been a potent campaign weapon.
