Santorum: I'll beat Romney if Gingrich drops out

Sorry, Rick! You can’t change the fact that Newt’s the best man for the job. If you’re very nice, maybe he’ll offer you the ambassadorship to Slovenia.

Go, Newtster!

[MissMagnolia]

No arguments with that thought!

Gingrich said after his South Carolina victory that Santorum should drop out before the Florida primary, but Santorum refused and now Gingrich is returning the favor. “I’m taking Rick Santorum’s advice,” Gingrich told CNN’s Candy Crowley this morning. “He stayed in, he was running fourth in every single primary, suddenly he very cleverly went to three states nobody else went to, and he became the media darling and bounced back.”

There he goes...little Ricky messin his britches again....

LOL! That's true. He starts to grimace a lot, and he starts bragging (blabbering) about his lack luster record, when his is not sure of himself. He also resorts to Algore style embellishment and takes credit for other people's ideas and sayings. (He is currently stealing one from Newt)

When he is “sure” of him self, he gets arrogant and sticks his “blue Collar Steel Town” boot between his gums, because he lives in Virginia, and has never held a “blue collar” job in his life, nor has his immediate parents.

I guess I could say that I “Discovered the South Poll”, because by Great Uncle was a crew member on Admiral Amundson’s Ship.

That's the kind of disambiguation that Democrats use all the time and is tiresome to listen to.

If he can't beat Romney on his own accord, how is he going to beat Obama? Santorum, though he may fall closest to my conservative credentials, is not a polished candidate. Obama will slaughter him in the very first debate and it will be downhill from there. I see him as a lean Bob Dole. A decent well respected guy, but not a winner.

[MotorCityBuck]

No soup for you little Ricky! Go Newt!

[onyx]

Right. He’s the one who chose to give it to Romney and now he’s whining.

Newt is staying in all the way to the convention.

“I pulled the lever for Rick in Michigan to stop Mitt”

Thank you.

Now if the other Newt fans were only as wise as you...

Michigan Republican Presidential Primary

February 28 (Hybrid Primary) 30 Delegates | 2008 Michigan Results: Romney +9.2%

Polling Data

Poll Date Sample MoE Romney Santorum Paul Gingrich Spread
Final Results — — — 41.1 37.9 11.6 6.5 Romney +3.2

BUT there’s 6.5% who just DON’T GET IT! And maybe sadly never will.

[kalee]

But can he beat Obama? Not likely.

[onyx]

Newt Gingrich didn’t campaign in Michigan so that means that his voters didn’t like Santorum or Romney.

It’s also true that in Michigan, Sanoturm got democrat UNION votes, so that also means that not enough Republicans liked Sanotrum.

It’s also true that Romney got the majority of the Catholic vote in Michigan, NOT Santorum!

Santorum has a lot of problems of his own making.

[CainConservative]

I'm sure Newt could be Secretary of Labor if he drops out and endorses Rick.

Just sayin'..... : )

What a team!!!

[onyx]

So much of this primary has been all about shutting out and stopping Newt Gingrich.

It’s sickening because he is the best and most qualified man for the job, which is primarily Commander in Chief.

[onyx]

Stop acting like an idiot.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

LOL, especially that incessant Sweater Vest thing. He thinks it is SOOOO KEWEL! And he will likely win off of how he looks in one, on that alone!

[CainConservative]

Try to be civil.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Within the next week Santorum is going to be dumping his campaign bus for a Waaambulance...

[Son House]

if Gingrich drops out, there wouldn’t be a conservative economic solution in the running.

[liberalh8ter]

Exactly. Rick needs to drop out so Newt can take on Obama.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Now there is ONE sharp LOGO! I would like to think that Newt designed it himself.
