Yep, Rick Santorum was the runner-up, not Newt. Newt managed to carry only his home state of Georgia and next door South Carolina. Santorum won Tennessee and Alabama, two of the four other states in Newt's backyard.

By the "whose turn" pattern, it would be Rick Santorum who would be entitled to the 2016 nomination.

Santorum was bottom of the barrel until all the other dropped out. Sorry. He is unelectable, even in his own state.
