If Romney wins I predict many will lash out and blame it on the media, RNC, Rush or whoever they can conveniently scapegoat. Conservatives as a group have no one to blame but themselves - collectively that is. Here you have Newt and Santorum splitting the conservative vote in a state chock full of NE liberal snow birds. Romney will easily take Florida. And the reason is because two conservative candidates are nore interested in their own power than uniting against Romney. Not necessarily blaming them either. That is what primaries are about - let the best man/woman win etc. But blaming everyone else is a cop out when it is simple math that will allow Romney to win Florida. Doesn't matter how Florida goes. Santorum should get the hell out and support Newt and Newt should fight all the way to the convention. It ain't over until its over - except in the case of Florida -- Florida has been 'over'.
Remember what we were hearing a week ago. No one who doesn’t win South Carolina ever becomes the nominee.
There’s a long way to go.
However, I’m not joining the blame Santorum crowd.
There seems to be a lot of fear and hatred of Gingrich out there which I totally don’t understand and if it continues to grow, we will need Santorum.

Don’t know how a convention of conservatives could be organized and then force someone to step into the arena. Running for election starts in the heart of the candidate and we seem so bereft of volunteers. H*ll we don’t have a National Party Home - we are simply overnight guests in the GOP outhouse.
