If it were switched with Gingrich and Santorum Gingrich supporters would not bend in Gingrich stepping down.

Not true. Many of us Newt supporters were formerly supporting Cain, and before that, we were holding out for Sarah Palin to enter the race.

When she made it clear that that wasn't going to happen, we did what we had to, and threw our support behind someone who was A) in the race, B) was polling well enough to contend against Romney, and C) came closest to what we wanted in a candidate. When he was rubbed out, we shifted our support again.

If, as you say, the circumstances were switched between the three conservatives left in the race, we'd do it again, for the greater good.

I've already changed horses twice in this race. It's time for others to do the same. We need to coalesce around the only remaining conservative who has a prayer of taking out Mittens - AND who has what it takes to beat Obama in the general, and that is Newt.
