Glenn Beck threatens to bolt if Gingrich wins


Glenn Beck, who's made his distaste for Newt Gingrich clear, made it even more crystal on his radio show this morning.

Beck, via the Right Scoop:

"If I have a gun to my head, I'll vote for Mitt Romney [in the general election], and if it's Newt Gingrich and there's a third party and it's Ron Paul -- and I don't agree with his Middle Eastern policy, at all -- I might consider Ron Paul as a third party."

He then called Romney and Gingrich "the two big progressives", but said Newt was particularly onerous because he's "championed progressive ideas on the national level"; whereas, RomneyCare was only at the state level.

Beck's two favorite '12ers are Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum.
