Top Reasons the Romney Win in Florida Is NOT what the Romney supporters in the LSM are suggesting. It is not the end of the road and the coronation of Mitt Romney.
1. Only about a hundred out of roughly 2300 delgates have been chosen.
2. Romney can't win over the conservative base.
3. 46 States remain on the schedule.
4. Romney has seriously elevated his negatives. Many now despise the guy.
5. Romney is being protected by the media from his weaknesses. Time and repetition will get the truth out.
6. Romney can't continue spending at that level and enter the general is good shape.
7. At the end of the day, Romney is still a flip-flop liberal.
8. Liberal Media is Starting to Train Guns on Romney
This needs to be put to Rick in VERY clear terms.
He is not going to get the nomination.
Therefore, does Rick really want to become the guy that put Mittwitt on the Republican ticket, thus losing the general election and subjecting the united States to little bammy's "Endgame For America?"
I believe Santorum is actually the more conservative of the two...
In many areas that might be true.
However, there exists in dee-cee a gigantic rat nest of socialists, marxists, fascists, and outright communists, woven together with all the cash their grubby hands can loot from the American people plus warehouse loads from "other" (illegal) sources.
Rick does not posses the depth of experience it will require to design the process that will deconstruct that rat's nest. Undoubtedly he is a great guy and good at what he has done in the past but the task ahead is far beyond his skill set.
Newt is far from perfect HOWEVER he is capable of constructing the machine that can effectively unravel the communist cluster f*** of the donks.
Rick should be smart enough to know that there IS a place for him just as there will be for ALL of the solid conservatives if the election goes our way. If it does not? There will not be anyplace for him or anyone else that is not kissing the communist ring.
Again, the question is...
Does Rick Santorum want to become the guy that subjected the united States to little bammy's "Endgame For America?"
BTW, the same is true for Ron Paul but he is just beyond reasoning with.
One more thing, did you make that chart yourself or is is posted somewhere? Thanks!

And what exactly makes you believe Santorum would combine forces with Gingrich? Out of the gate in Nevada he is attacking Newt. Considering his “No Florida” campaign, he could have asked his supporters to vote Newt.
Santorum is pulling a Huckabee with the devout game.
You want to get some attention, start a third party candidacy in the same fashion as the Christine Todd Whitman/Jon Huntsman. The difference is, Gingrich has political traction.
I made the chart in Excel and then converted it to html and update it after every Primary/Caucus.
I believe Rick hopes he can win in Missouri where he will be one on one against Mitt (Newt did not get on the ticket there). If he does he will try and claim that, see, I am the one who can beat Mitt on a head up fight. But the fact is, if there is just one conservative (Newt or Rick), in most states that one person has an excellent chance of winning in the primaries.
Rick just has not been able to get that spark...that special something that energizes people and gets them excited to he point of getting out, spreading the word, and bringing other people to the fire.
Newt does, despite his problems. If he can stay focused and not let Mitt’s or later, Obama’s negative ads make him mad and get him off his game, he can clean the floor with Obama.
But Rick bowing out and Newt staying on target are both what need to happen to make that possible...the numbers to date reflect this clearly. Overall, after four elections Rick is getting just 14%, Newt is getting 31%. The two together at 46% beat Mitt Romney’s almost 42%, and I bet Romeny would lose some more votes if there was just one conservative alternative.
Rick is doing this in Nevada precisely because he wants to try and bring down Newt and be the only Conservative left standing. But the numbers do not support him and all he is going to do is prolong the split vote.
He hopes to take a good showing in Nevada (which I do not believe he will have) and then go head to head with Romney in Missouri (where Newt did not make the ballot) and then try and say that he is the one who can take Mitt in a one on one contest.
The fact is, if given the chance, so could Newt, and probably even better.
Rick does not have the spark...or the traction as you say. Newt does, and the numbers to date after four contests reflect this. After the four, cumulatively Rick is getting just 14%, Newt is getting almost 32%. The two together with 46% beat Mitt Romney’s almost 42%, and Romney would probably lose more votes if there was just one conservative alternative.
One other point based upon your last sentence regarding one conservative alternative; this primary is exposing how shallow our bench truly is.
Precisely.
