Gingrich Rally Targets Undecided

New Gingrich stopped in Tampa Monday to make a final push for undecided voters, with less than 24 hours to go before Florida Republicans head to the polls.

The former House Speaker was at the Tampa International Jet Center to rally voters to support his presidential bid. He was met by a crowd of about 200 people eager to hear his message.

John Leach stood in line waiting to hear Gingrich speak, with hopes that he'd inch closer to a decision by the end of the appearance.

"I saw him as the Speaker 11 years ago and I thought, 'This guy can be president,'" said Leach, a Pinellas County resident. "So, I'm here to observe."

Many who turned out said they were certain of their support for Gingrich. But there were others like Leach still undecided.  Gingrich continues to trail Mitt Romney in Florida polls, which give the former Massacuhesetts governor a comfortable lead.

Capitalizing on a win in South Carolina, Gingrich used Monday's rally to distinguish himself from Romney and focus on conservative views, calling himself a "Reagan conservative."

"I'm a real change, and that's why the establishment is scared because we will change things," Gingrich told the cheering crowd, with his wife, Callista, close by his side.

If elected, Gingrich said he would make drastic changes on the first day of his presidency, including signing bills to repeal Obamacare, the Sarbanes–Oxley Act, which imposes strict guidelines on record keeping for big companies, as well as the Frank Dodd Bill, which imposes regulation on the finance industry.

He also promised to issue executive orders to abolish "White House czars,"  open an embassy in Jerusalem and authorize the Keystone Pipeline, which would pump oil from Canada to the United States.

"I want us to develop enough American energy that no other American president bows to a Saudi King," Gingrich said.

Gingrich's ability to speak boldly is the key to winning contentious debates with President Obama, said supporters like Bob White, a Westchase resident.

"In a debate, he's the only candidate that can speak extemporaneously," said White, a computer programmer and Tea Party member.

Gingrich also used Tuesday's rally to announce some key figures he'd tap if elected president. Former Republican nominees Rick Perry and Herman Cain were listed. Cain, who endorsed Gingrich last week, spoke at the rally.

"There are a lot of undecided votes right here in Florida just like South Carolina," Cain told the crowd. "Stay informed. Stay involved. Stay inspired. We gotta believe he can do this."
