Maybe Santorum shares my opinion that Gingrich is a suspect conservative.

I think Newt should do the graceful thing and bow out so that Santorum can challenge Romney one-on-one.

How can he be suspect, when he has one of the highest lifetime conservative records?

Nobody has a perfect record.

LOL! Like Newt is the new kid in town! He carries the Reagan torch GIVEN to him by Reagan.

Santorum, at this point, is beyond being 'suspect'!

I don't trust Newt or Mitt. Both are opportunists who will be whatever they need to be to get elected. Newt jumped into the progressive deep end in the 00's after he left office and Mitt never was a conservative.

Both Newt and Mitt are egomaniacs and the only reason both of them are "conservative" today is because they want to get elected.

You mean and have the possibility that a real conservative could win the nomination? Preposterous! This is the Republican Party, sir! Every possible effort is put into eliminating any chance a conservative will be the nominee. We are the "hold your nose" party, and proud of it. Please take your heresy elsewhere!

Calling him a suspect conservative is giving Gingrich far more credit than he deserves. As far as I’m concerned, Romney and Gingrich have already destroyed any chance the GOP has of taking the white house.

Despite fantasies to the contrary, Santorum getting out won’t win the nomination for anyone. I could skip the presidential slot on the ballot without the slightest twinge bothering my conscience.

Want to take an interesting look at “history”? Go back and look at some of the threads from the day Gingrich announced he was running.

Maybe Santorum knows that his own conservative credentials in no way measure up to Gingrich so he's running for the VP slot under Romney.

“I think Newt should do the graceful thing and bow out so that Santorum can challenge Romney one-on-one.”

I actually agree with this. I believe out of the three remaining Republican candidates (Ron Paul doesn’t count) Santorum is by far the best choice to go against 0bama.

Gingrinch certainly has his strengths, but they are more than offset by his weaknesses.

Today will be an interesting day in Florida.
