He’s right about that, it’s shrinking to Romney/Gingrich, only Santorum doesn’t know it yet.
Gingrich will experience a big surge in the near future.
Someone’s got to capture a percentage that is greater than
Romney’s....which has never been above 40%, as far as I know.
It’s all a matter of which primary voters down the line, start to separate themselves from the currently inexplicably popular
Paul and Santorum, and decide to go with the real contenders,
ROmney and Gingrich. Neither Paul nor Santorum voters seem to be the type to go for Romney,but it could happen if they get riled enough at Gingrich. This should ALREADY have been
a two-man race.Correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m a Santorum guy, but I think you’re right. Gingrich is probably going to rebound a second time now that the southern primaries are here. I also think that neither is particularly disciplined when it comes to staying on message. But I give the edge to Gingrich on the basis of quick-thinking and sheer ability to articulate his ideas.
If Santorum drops out, it is all over. If two of every three Santorum voters switch to Newt, rather than go to Romney or drop out of voting, Gingrich would still trail Romney in the polls. 14G + 20 (of S’s 27) = 34. Romney is at 37.
Two thirds of Newt’s polled voters switching to Santorum would put Santorum barely ahead, at which point the 11 point group that keeps swinging to the person who appears best able to beat Obama would likely switch back to him.
