"I even give credit to Speaker Gingrich when I was thinking of running for the House of Representatives, as a great educator as he is," Santorum said. "It was important for me to understand who we are. Reagan did a lot of that education, and give Newt credit for doing a lot more."

**************

Yeh, Rick, we know of your admiration for Speaker Gingrich, we heard you say as much in the early debates.

But after Fla, following low finishes in prior states, instead of supporting him- you decided that you could topple the Speaker by running negative ads against him in the midwest.

How's that worked out, other than to advance the Gop-e? Now, you want Newt to leave?

Rick, by rights, you're the one who should leave. You're the one who savaged a friend and ally.

We don't want Newt to drop out. He is our only hope to not only beat Obama, but fix the country. If Romney and Santorum had not spent all their money trying to trash Newt, he would be way ahead in the polls. If anybody would listen to Newt they would have to admit he is a genius. We want him for president and do not want him to ever give up.

He did no such thing. Rick is running a campaign to win which is something Newt should consider if he is to be considered viable against Milt. Also, here we go again with the Newt people calling for the only guy in the race challenging Milt in any significant way to drop out. Wasn't it Newt that was pushing this "drop out scenario" since SC?

Gingrich said it is clear “I am the leading conservative,” and he hopes the conservative vote can be “consolidated” in the weeks ahead. When asked if he was calling on Santorum, he simply repeated his hope the conservative vote can be consolidated.

A Gingrich spokesman confirmed Wednesday that there's been no pressure from Santorum's camp to leave the race.

That's right. Rick isn't calling for anyone to drop out. He is instead getting in these state contests to win. How has Newt improved his delegate standing since the SC win?

When Rick bests Romney by gaining 51% of the delegates, he can whine for drop outs, but not when he has hit a wall.

Rick knows he has toasted himself, and is left desperate. However, it is now Newt’s time to advance, not retreat, and it’s Newt’s time to stop defending Ricky and go after him in kind, as needed, and on time.

As far as this Gingrich supporter is concerned?

NOT A SNOWBALL'S CHANCE IN HELL!

Now Tricky little Ricky is getting desperate! (Always has been)

Especially, after that Pandering stunt he pulled to the Leftist Auto Union thugs in Detroit, because he was so desperate to win at any cost, anyone who supports him from here on out is clearly the enemy!

Sounds to me like Mitt trying to create more trouble in the Newt and Rick camps.

So far it is working beautifully for him.

"I "even" give credit to Speaker Gingrich when I was thinking of running for the House, as a great educator as he is"

THEN Santorum says: "It was "important" for me to "understand" who we are"

Basically he is admitting that he learned all he knows through NEWT GINGRICH.

So I ask, why do we need you Rick, when we can have the ORIGINAL? You owe that to NEWT, you take the VP and wait your turn, it will come, your still young. You need to learn Loyalty first, but your trainable.

I won’t vote for Santorum here in Georgia. I’ll cast it for Newt, but if it ends up as a contest between Romney and Santorum, I’d support Santorum over Romney.

It will be either Gingrich or Obama. Santorum’s feminist swing voters for Hillary (see ‘90s demographics) aren’t afraid enough of having the Democrat in office again. IMO, Gingrich is the only chance to get a Republican in as president.

What we do know is ... all candidates are willing to say, do, support, most any ideas that will propel them to more voters, including using any information or misinformation against their running mates.

They want to win BADLY! and will do whatever is possible according to each of their ethics to win the office. Doing the necessary to win is understood be all concerned "to be how it is done"!

Bad policy (unfortunately) for America.
