Drop out, Rick and endorse Newt. Show us that the country is more important than personal ambition.

This little weak nitwit thinks he has a chance. The only chance he has is getting Romney in and King Obama will get another term.

Funny how Mitt thinks the tax issue is what’s hurting him.

My first choice was Rick Perry.
I can’t say that I like Newt personally, but I’ll be da*ned if I support RINO Romney or Ricardo Santorum.
Santorum’s voting record for illegal aliens is shameful.

Santorum:

Voted AGAINST increasing the number of immigration investigators:

VOTED AGAINST HIRING AN ADDITIONAL 1,000 BORDER PATROL AGENTS, paid for by reductions in state grants.

Santorum; Big government spender:

Santorum needs to put his ego aside, place his country before himself, drop out and go back to wherever he came from.

Rick Perry is twice the Conservative Santorum is!
He deserves the VP slot.

Since 2000 he has led the second largest state in the union on to be the most successful economically.

Perry stated that in his administration he would start all countries getting U.S. foreign aid at ZERO, until they proved to be our allies.

He was also the first to bring the war on religion to the forefront.

[Windflier]

"If conservative elites begin to pressure Santorum — much as they did earlier this week with Rick Perry — it's plausible that he could exit the race."

What liberal drone wrote this pablum? Conservative elites?

I thought we were all racist, homophobe, buck-toothed hicks, clinging to our guns and bibles.

[nikos1121]

I agree. THere is no reason for him to stay in. Bow out now, and show some class.

[jeltz25]

I don’t think Rick needs to drop out, but he can skip FL. FL is winner take all. He has no chance to win. None. All he can do is spend a lot of money in an expensive media state/

However, after FL is NV, MN, CO. All caucus states with proportional delegates. If he skips FL and spends the next 10 days in NV and CO while Romney and Newt slug it out in FL he’ll have the states all to himself and be ahead of the game. Also, those 2 states are far less expensive and he can be way more effective and do the retail thing that worked well in IA.

If Romney ends up winning FL and knocking off Newt, he’ll be the only non-Romney left. If Newt wins , he still has a 10 day head start on him and could well end up the non-Newt the establishment gets behind after they dump Romney.

But staying in FL really makes no sense for him. none. He should announce he’s skippng FL and focusing on NV and CO.

Interesting how this article mentions Palin. I wonder if one of the reasons she hasn’t formally endorsed Newt is because she knows(as does Newt) that she could only serve as a distraction. The media and establishment would love to use her endorsement to attack Newt with. So she robs them of that weapon, but still effectively endorses him through Todd and some favorable comments of her own. Some strategery on her part.

[ROTB]

Drop out, Rick and endorse Newt. Show us that the country is more important than personal ambition.

While Santorum insisted Sunday that he felt “absolutely no pressure at all” to exit the contest ...

Agreed. Rick, please, quit and fight another day, or fight with Newt.

[Amanda King]

article quote: "And a Santorum exit might be little more than wishful thinking on the part of the Gingrich campaign. The Pennsylvania senator has already released his Florida campaign schedule and has repeatedly noted that each leading candidate has one primary win."

Santorum surely knows that Newt's South Carolina victory was substantially bigger than Iowa numbers-wise. About 600,000 people voted in SC compared to about 120,000 in Iowa.

Newt's SC margin over Santorum's 3rd place finish is more than DOUBLE Santorum's total vote count in Iowa and New Hampshire COMBINED.
