romney and then to newt gingrich or ron paul. so while newt gingrich yesterday was basically welcoming over santorum supporters saying come join me, arguing he's the last true conservative in the race, it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. now, mitt romney will be the overwhelming favorite in the next voting that will take place in the five states that day, including pennsylvania, that a lot of people thought live team coverage was gonna win. but delaware, new york, connecticut and rhode island. those last two, mitt romney with events there today. at this point in time, a lot of focus on the idea that mitt romney will be the nominee. ron paul and newt gingrich still staying in the race but they certainly have a big disadvantage when it comes to organization. that's the latest from here. >> when do you think, though, that the next candidate may drop out and say, okay, i've

had it. it's not going to happen? >> reporter: ron paul and newt gingrich could run such low- budget operations that honestly i don't see either giving up until mitt romney has the major delegates. newt gingrich's one problem is money. we saw that showcase yesterday. he's in debt overall and then yesterday came the story after rick santorum left the race that gingrich's camp had bounced a check for $500 to get on the ballot in june. it's just a reminder that organizely, when you look at it -- organizationally, when you look at it that way. >> and really, quickly, jamie,

do you think at some point, i mean the pressure really is gonna come from the establishment. okay, look. that's enough. we've had it. now you are hurting the party. >> reporter: well, i guess i would look at it this way -- i've covered newt gingrich since he was in congress in the ally 80s and nobody tells him what's new other than him. i don't see him getting out of the race and ron paul says he's not gonna get the gop establishment lean on hill. >> okay. we'll just stand by. thank you, jamie. reporting for us live. you can find a link to jamie's washington insider blog at ktvu.com. pull down the news menu bar and go to our politics page. 7:17. san francisco sheriff mirkarimi has hired an attorney. two critical hearings will be held later this month that will determine if he will get his
