	DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Newt Gingrich vows to fight on after a disappointing showing in the Iowa caucuses that he blames on attack ads against him.


	Gingrich tells The Associated Press while grabbing a snack at his hotel coffee shop that he just needed two more weeks to reach out to more voters and rebuild the lead he once held. He says he thinks he did "OK" in the nation's first Republican nominating contest.


	The former House speaker plans to hit back at rival Mitt Romney as the campaign moves to New Hampshire on Wednesday. Gingrich says he's putting up television ads in that state along with South Carolina and Florida that aggressively contrast his record with Romney's.


	Gingrich watched his surge in Iowa polls evaporate amid a barrage of attack ads, many run by a political action committee backing Romney.
