If Newt can’t even take 2nd place outside of his own state, then he has no business staying in. I am sure Rick can find a Cabinet position to offer him.

I'm afraid that's the case. I hoped Newt would do better in the south, but it is not to be. I predict he will drop out this week.

He did get 2nd in Florida, right next to his state.

I was sure Gingrich would take 2nd place in Tennessee, but you are right, he was 3rd (barely).

So Super Tuesday, pending Ohio switching (Romney ahead now), and no Alaska report (lower points better):

Romney 6-1st, 3-2nd, 1-3rd. (9)
Santorum - 3-1st, 3-2nd, 4-3rd (18)
Paul - 0-1st, 4-2nd, 2-3rd, 4-4th (30)
Gingrich - 1-1st, 4-3rd, 5-4th (32)

Gingrich only beat Santorum in 1 out of the 10 reported results, and actually did worse than Paul in state placements (but better with total votes and delegates because of Georgia).

Gingrich was really close in Olkahoma and Tennessee though. And Wyoming hasn’t reported enough to count yet.
