Santorum, Gingrich, and Perry...and their Super PACs...need to run ads against Romney only.

Something’s defintely going on! You’re sure right about that. I was almost unmad at him yesterday, and just about to order more BlueBerry Tea. Well, NOT now.

His defense today of Romney is outrageous! I sure hope he’s not back on the oxy. I thought he might have been celebrating on his birthday (drinking) and that was A-OK, but today, he’s just outrageous. Defending Romney? Get real.

Romney is rich, we don’t care, but Romney is the wrong man, and the timing for a rich man couldn’t be worse. Too bad.

Like the old adage says, “timing is everything.”

GET LOST ROMNEY!

Perhaps ...just perhaps, AMERICA is going to decide who will run against Obama — not the media, or the establishment. Americans are perhaps NOT going to make the same mistake twice.

From your lips to God's ear. I pray that the electorate sees thru the obvious ruse hatched by the mainstream ELITES in this country -- and no I don't see the aforementioned as a contradiction in terms -- in both the media and in politics to once again manipulate an election to maintain a corrupt status quo.

“Which Rick? Perry or Santorum? or both?”

Both.

“Why is that idiot Santorum running ads against Gingrich?”

A) Santorum is no idiot.

B) He and Newt are vying for the same voting block, Romney voters are not going to switch to Santorum. Therefore, he has no reason to go after Romney voters.

I can tell that you (as are many others) emotionally invested in your candidate winning. I on the other hand have no candidate as mine dropped out. I like Santorum, Newt and Perry all equally and for differing reasons.

My statement that “Rick” needs to get out is far more strategy than how much I “like” a candidate. On a personal level Newt makes me want to take a shower, but he is the only one that can beat Romney in S. Carolina and beyond.

He also contrasts nicely with Obama on several issues both near and dear. At this point I’ll back Newt and hope he wins and is NOT Nixon redux.

If Rick did throw his support behind Newt, Gingrich would basically owe his nomination to Santorum.

That’s a hell of a bargaining chip when considering a running mate (see also: from quasi-swing state of PA).

It looks like Newt may gather enough momentum to topple Romney on Saturday, especially if he has another excellent debate performance tomorrow night.”

Bank on it. He’s just getting warmed up.

With all the negative stuff coming out about Romney, plus the upcoming debate, Saturday should be looking good for Newt!

Sorry, but I am not buying this, and I cannot understand why Romney is still at 30%-what is the matter with these people?

Unless someone drops out like Perry or Santorum, Newt is going to come in second, and the establishment is going to quickly say the race is over, lets unite!

Lie to pollsters. Make their resuls unreliable, so politicians will have to really say what they think, blind.

“Rick Santorum, who was running second two weeks ago, has now dropped to 15%.”

He’s not dropped. He was at 16 before. Do I need to pull up the earlier poll?

Santorum and Perry need to get out of the way.

If the other Newt supporters were like you I could see myself doing the same. I wish they all were rather then calling Santorum supporters ‘idiots’, etc.

FYI, to Newt fans. The race card is being used against Newt BIG TIME.

This is a great counter response.
