Anyone winning this who doesn’t have a chance of competing in other states and winning the nomination helps Romney. All it can do is take more delegates, more momentum, more fundraising and more buzz away from the strongest non-Romney, Newt. When the media is practically ready to declare Romney the winner and cancel 48 of the primaries if he even comes in 2nd in IA, we cannot afford to make a “statement” vote here.

If Newt comes in behind Romney, then he is still going to have a massive uphill battle ahead of him. It wouldn’t be quite so bad if Newt was ahead of Romney, even if someone else was 1st.

The bottom line is that if Newt dropped out tomorrow, the election would be over and Romney would have it. There is no other viable candidate out there that can generate the excitement, the fundraising, the endorsements, the support, and seems competent enough to win more votes than Romney. It is a waste of time and conceding defeat to back anyone else than Newt against Romney at this time.

If it’s Santorum, Paul, Newt, and Willard all alive going into SC & FL...

I’ll love NEWT’S chances over Liberal Willard in the South.

No , what this is showing is a pattern that people are dumping Newt, Perry, because they already had a good look at them and are looking for another alternative as a non - Romney..

Nonsense. Santorum is 2nd choice of Bachmann, Newt, and Perry’s voters. He would be well ahead of Romney if Newt drops out, and that may become the scenario that should happen.

CORRECT.

You are beating a dead hose here, Willard has shown how easy it was to wave noots dirty laundry around and take him down with a few bucks. Obummer with a few hundred million would have noots train load of baggage spread from one side of the country to the other. I mean just two short weeks ago noots declared himself the nominee. That turned out well.

LOL. Really? I am curious who Newt is going to vote for this Primary cycle. Being a Mclean VA resident, he will have to vote for either Mittens or RuPaul since he didn't get on the ballot and won't be able to vote for himself. Santorum has just as good a shot of taking down Mittens as Newt does. 25% poll ceiling Mittens is a loser.
