Newt has two options (and I mean this afternoon, and no later).

1) Drop out and endorse Santorum.

2) Give a tearful public apology to Marianne.

The second option has maybe a 5% chance of working.

This is the formula I see. (given the previous admissions of Newt so an appology to the ex is pointless)

1. do nothing mit wins

2. santorum drops out and endorses newt, newt wins.

3. newt drops out and mit wins anyways.

Santorum is just not a winning factor in any real primary race. remember iowa is a joke caucus system that ultimatly just goes with the person with the most votes.

I disagree. I understand Newt has made his apologies over the years a number of times.

One thing that troubles me is that Marianne was the other woman when Newt was married to his first wife. That was ok with her. Then another woman became the other woman and that was not ok with her.

Too bad Newt wasn’t King David from the bible. He could have just married all of them.

I suspect the timing on this. Money is changing hands. Follow the money.
