NO ONE but God knows what the future holds. If we Santorum backers are willing to jump to Newt to keep romney from winning, shouldn’t we let it ride and see what Santorum can do. Don’t be like the establishment and tell us we have to vote for their candidate because ours can’t win. Santorum has not attacked like romney has and we deserve the time to see what happens. We have until the end of April. This is not about Newt or Rick, but about the future of our country.
Delegate Math: Don’t Anoint Romney Just Yet
Mitt Romney may have won Iowa and New Hampshire, but even if he wins in South Carolina and Florida, he will technically still have a long way to go before winning the GOP nomination.
Mathematically, no candidate can seal the nomination until late April, which leaves a lot of campaigning yet to be done.

I didn't say that. What I said was, "Rick Santorum is a good man, but he should release his followers in Florida to vote for Newt. A Gingrich win in Florida would be HUGE!". I'm not telling anyone how to vote.
I think Santorum can and should stay in the race. But Florida is "winner take all" and Rick clearly is not going to win. So in terms of blocking Romney from an important psychological advantage, letting his followers decide FOR THEMSELVES if they wish to give Newt a boost for this primary could make a difference.
To stay in the Florida contest given certain defeat, and effectively act only as a spoiler, leads me to wonder if Rick wants Romney to win the nomination, if Rick himself does not.
In any case, fret not, I wasn't telling anybody how to vote. :)
