Gingrich sees huge surge in donations

Cash is pouring into the Newt Gingrich campaign for the Republican presidential nomination after the stunning surge and upset victory over Mitt Romney.

His campaign team said he had raised more than a million dollars in just hours — money that is much needed as the primary battle moves into Florida.

The former speaker of the House of Representatives ravaged the sense of inevitability surrounding Romney’s run for the nomination with a 12% defeat of the former Massachusetts governor in Saturday’s South Carolina primary.
