He will be remembered as the spoiler who gave Romney the nomination.

Please. Santorum's the incompetent buffoon who spoiled the race and is nigh on handing it to Romney. Some might say it was deliberate. What the heck was he doing down in PR when he should be pounding pavement in IL where he actually has a chance to beat Romney? Is Santorum just playing sham politics?

Santorum 11 states he won
Newt 2 states he won

Bottom line is results in the General. You do know that you need to win more than 2 states in the General right. Newt should run for Governor of Georgia. He might just win there. After he gets a statewide election under his belt, he might understand that in order to run for President you have to run in all 50 states.

If he ignored PR, it would have been taken as a slight to Puerto Rican voters on the mainland.

He’s far from a buffoon. AND, to be analytical about this, a Ginrich/Obama fight would be a repeat of the McCain/Obama fight. A tired old man against a youthful jerk - but a jerk who looks like he just stepped out of Gentleman’s Quarterly. Bad combination for us.

But if Gingirch was leading in delegate counts, I would have urged Santorum to step down. The important thing is to stop a RINO from getting nominated.
