If Newt would drop out and go back to Freddie Mac their are plenty of states left. And deligates are generally not bound.

Hey cats... they all have negatives. Of course I will support ANYONE who runs against this current debacle. I really can’t get excited about any of our top three. I wish I could. Mitt is mediocre at best. Little Ricky doesn’t excited me. Gingrich is interesting, but has a TON of baggage. I am just saying that Sanorum has no more right to stay in the race than Gingrich.

I like the old bulldog, but he should have run eight years ago. Of the other choices, I am looking at a Lhasa Apso in a cute little sweater, a squirrel, and a hissing cockroach. I’ve decided I will support any of the candidates which is a mammal, and has an internal skeleton

' The only use I have for squirrels is pot pie.

Correct but Rick is actually beating Newt why would he drop out? Newt is a man of big idea’s but he is letting his ego cloud the goal. Unless he is pocketing the casino cash, why on earh would he stay? I am not calling him a thief, but what is his motive? He has won 2 states. He polls around 14% in most of the other states. Right now he needs to make a choice for party over ego...or we will watch another republican moderate progressive lose in November.

Yes, they all have negatives. We aren’t voting for Jesus - the only One who was and s perfect and sinless. Santorum has a delegate lead over Newt, and Newt is splitting the conservative vote by staying in. That’s evident. I doubt that those who vote for Santorum, would vote for Newt if Rick wasn’t in the race. Newt’s baggage is a lot heavier than Ricks. God knows Mittens has a lot of it too - he is a 100% RINO. I pray for this country - we don’t need obama-lite in the WH to ruin things for the next election cycle.

It was very odd. Perhaps I stumbled in on the local Thomas Sowell Club.
