We’d be better off if he devoted resources to endorsing Rick. I like both, and I was prepared to support either. I was prepared to suggest whichever one was trailing after Super Tuesday drop out.

Unfortunately for Newt, he’s the guy. Its time to get out of the way.

Excuse me..but Gingrich has 105 bound delegates to Santorum’s 78. Santorum only has 2% more of the popular vote..no way in HELL should Newt get out!

None of them are going to get out because they have data that tells them not to... and the truth is... it is not over.

If Rick could beat Newt in the arena of conservative ideas- I would agree-

But, Rick is leading because (1) he went negative on Newt; (2) he personally lobbied Newt’s co-chair in tenn to abandon Newt; and (3) his lead over Newt is predicated on the circumstance that Newt got divorced—

To me, that does not a President make.

Rick wants my vote? Easy. Instead, of begging Newt to drop, challenge Newt one on one to a debate on ideas and the course of America— if Rick wins, I’ll switch my vote.

Until then, Rick can fry ice.

The problem is, you are unaware that Santorum is completely off the ballot in 4 of the states that have yet to vote. And the deadline is past.

Even if Newt drops out today, there is no way for Santorum to win. It is just not possible with the remaining states and the nature of how they award delegates. Besides you are still assuming that if Newt does drop out, 100% of his votes will to to Santorum. That is simply not true. Over half would likely go to Romney and Paul also.

This is a long forgotten fact that Santorum supporters refused to understand, when they were told about it months ago. But they jumped in with both feet in spite of it.

There’s no way that Santorum can beat BO in the debates.

Go Newt.

"We’d be better off if he devoted resources to endorsing Rick. "

Gingrich would be far more likely to endorse Romney than Santorum.

I believe if Gingrich drops, Santorum will never see another delegate.

He’s trailing by one delegate. Be real.
