NEWT GINGRICH STOPS IN SIOUX CITY

SIOUX CITY---REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE NEWT GINGRICH STOPPED IN SIOUX CITY FRIDAY AND SAID HE'LL OVERCOME THE ROUGH START OF HIS CAMPAIGN WITH "CHEERFUL PERSISTENCE." 

GINGRICH HAS BEEN BLASTED BY FELLOW REPUBLICANS FOR USING WORDS LIKE "RADICAL" DURING A TV INTERVIEW ON SUNDAY TO DESCRIBE A PLAN ADVANCED BY KEY REPUBLICANS IN THE U-S HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

WHILE SOME CONSERVATIVE COMMENTATORS HAVE GONE SO FAR AS TO DECLARE HIS CANDIDACY OVER, GINGRICH IS SOLDIERING ON.
