Romney Edges Into Mop-Up Phase Of Campaign

Front-runner Mitt Romney edged into the mop-up phase of the Republican race to challenge President Barack Obama, buoyed by one rival's decision to scale back his campaign and another's statement that he would take the No. 2 spot on the party ticket in the fall.

Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, announced Wednesday he was dramatically curtailing his campaign schedule, laying off about a third of his staff and dismissing his campaign manager as he focuses on a last-ditch effort to win the Republican presidential nomination at the party's convention.
