So I guess you are right. Bachmann, Perry, and Gingrich should drop out now, and support Santorum, the 3rd-place candidate who actually is conservative.

First, go read Mr. Wright's post in reply #59

Santorum and Bachmann have no chance. They have no money or organization outside of Iowa. Any success they have in Iowa will not translate nationally/down state (where they are stuck in the statistical noise). Perry isn't in much better shape and a tie for last (where's he's at today - discounting Huntsman) in Iowa is going to make a miracle come back even more improbable.

You can caterwaul about it all you want. Doesn't matter.

Cling to you favorite non-viable. All that serves is to make Mitt's split the Not-Romney strategy a success.
