I’m pretty sure Romney hits the delegate mark if Newt drops out. Splitting two ways instead of three ways helps Mittens the Socialist. It also allows that turd to focus all of his negative advertising on Santorum.
Prior to this year, when delegates were awarded in a winner take all fashion, Newt would really be hurting Santorum. In the current situation, I think he is helping him.
Perhaps I should look at the upcoming races and see how many are proportional vs winner take all.
I don't know if you are aware of this, but to win a winner take all state, you have to win it. So far Newt has won two. How would that hurt Rick at all?
