I think the ones motivated by pride and love for self should drop out and endorse the one with the most class who loves America.
I call it foolhardy to encourage the best candidates to give up.

Indeed! But WHO is “motivated by pride and love for self” if not a person who is in 3rd, 4th, and 5th, and STILL runs, knowing that Romney will get the nomination?
If you’re a conservative and not in 2nd, ARE you really the “best” candidate? After all, is not part of being a candidate getting support?
Indeed. But who is 2nd, 3rd, and 4th? Santorum won(?) Iowa and beat Gingrich in New Hampshire, but trails Newt in the southeast. The two are tied nationally.
If Gingrich dropped out, would his supporters go to Santorum? Some of them, surely.
If Santorum dropped out, would his supporters go to Gingrich? Some of them.
Gingrich has more money suggesting he has staying power; Santorum has better favorability ratings suggesting a greater opportunity to unify opposition to Romney.
Perry is gone after SC. Ron Paul is... Ron Paul.
