Because Romney has no reason to quit. Don’t you see?
He’s winning right now because conservatives are divided. Same argument we’ve been having since day one.
Look, Newt’s had his home state. He won that and South Carolina. He’s done.
There is nothing left on the table that he will win. Nothing. Santorum proved that tonight, that he’s the only one who can beat Romney and we need to get behind him and support him.
I know it’s hard, I supported Cain, but Cain dropped. Now it’s time for Newt. He finished third to Romney in TN and third to Romney in OK. That is not the sign of a man who is going to win the Republican nomination of the presidency when you are finishing third in the most conservative states in the nation.
Krauthammer just said that Gingrich’s southern strategy is a no go. He said you can’t win national elections with regional wins only.
As you correctly point out, Gingrich is placing 3rd and 4th in neighboring southern states. So even his own southern strategy is in tatters. His 7% vote in MI was a killer for Santorum. Had Romney lost in MI, Santorum would have been on a roll with all the momentum and Romney would have been toast. Once again, Gingrich is playing the role of egomaniacal spoiler in the marquee contest of Super Tuesday!. He must quit NOW and he’s being kept afloat only by the dollars of his casino mogul benefactor.
Only 1/10 of the usual number of primary voters showed up.
That's Romney's true "strength level" ~ less than 10% ~ it's only when there's competition that he gets above that.
