Politicians are getting intense financial pressure from the Romney gang to endorse him. That is no reason why the voters should follow suit.

Exactly. It is EVERY reason WHY we should support Newt, and get our collective heads out of our collective BUTTS.
Santorum? Come on. He dropped out to preserve his own political future. Understandable, but he is part of the larger problem of politicians who do what is best for themselves, and not the good of the country.
Newt, I do believe, is staying in, not for himself — it’s going to hurt HIM to stay in — he’s doing it FOR the good of the country, and the Republican platform.
People really need to meditate on that, and the whole Romney/money/pressure issue.
That's a significant speculation on your part, and not a smart way to woo Santorum voters to Newt.
That being said, I'll vote for Newt in the PA primary because he is the closest to my beliefs, and unless Newt goes the distance to the convention, the November election is going to suck.
Personally, I think Rmoney winning is a terribly bad thing. Right now, the US is a pressure cooker with all the valves blocked, and something has to give. Putting Rmoney will just lower the pressure.
We are at a terrible impasse, with two groups that are diametrically opposed to each other: those that want to take, and those that don't want to be taken. There is no compromise between these two positions. The left realizes to accomplish their goals, they need fundamental change revolution. When are we going to realize that to get to our goals, we need the same?
Many think that if 0 wins, that is the end. But if Rmoney wins, then we are stuck with him for 8 years. We will continue the slow slide to European socialism/communism. Enough. I would rather have the current jerk screw up the system and crack the pressure cooker than be slow-cooked for another 4 to 8 years.
