No I want those who refuse to vote for Newt to vote for Santorum rather than waste their vote on the liberal Romney Santorum wont win but he can help stop Romney from getting too close to Newt.. I want a LARGE margin between Newt and Romney so that Romney cant try to “Santorum” Newt on the results...Your heart is in the right place... But you miss the mark. You should be hoping that Santorum does worse than expected - coming in 4th behind Ron Paul. If Santorum achieves a convincing 3rd place, it will only bolster him to continue with his futility. This will make it more difficult for Newt to stop Romney in Florida.
You absolutely correct. This point cannot be emphasized enough.
This problem solves itself. If Rick Santorum cannot come close to Romney, much less Newt in SC, he will have a very hard time raising money to fight on. A Newt victory today ensures he gets the bulk of conservative money moving forward. Santorum will not have strength without money.
The real story in the next week will be all-out war in the Republican Party of the Establishment vs. the Conservatives. This is the follow-up to the 2010 Tea Party election. The conservatives gave the Republicans power, and the establishment leadership is squandering it. Newt is very well positioned to lead the conservative side of this war.
