Problem is, what if he drops out for Mitt, or eventually intends to. I haven’t sensed any allegiance with Newt or Perry over the months, and if he IS going to go to Mitt we want him to do it after we batter Mitt down to the low 20s.
So, I don’t ask him to drop out, just ask him who’s he staying in for?
He’s staying in for the same reason he started, namely, he feels “called” (his word) to do so.
