And conservatives take another hit. Newt needs to go.

GA is done, and he isn’t going to win anymore states, anywhere.

He’s made his point, he can win his home state, but what else can he win? He was third tonight in Tennessee and third tonight in Oklahoma.

Santorum is now the favourite to win all the upcoming states over Newt.

Where else can he win besides GA?

What is South Carolina...chopped liver?

What escaped you is the delegate count taken tonight which FoxNews puts at 200 for Romney, 70 for Newt, 60 for Santorum, 10 for Paul.

It's the count that matters. What good is a win if you can't get the delegates? Ohio isn't the only state where Santorum's campaign fumbled. Among the highlights, he's also got the same slate problem in Illinois and isn't on the DC ballot.

Carl Cameron said on FoxNews last night that the Romney camp is very happy to know that Gingrich is still in the race.

At this stage of the game, Gingrich is unquestionably splitting the conservative vote, his “southern strategies” is in tatters having placed third and fourth in OK and TN, he continues to undermine Le Resistance by allowing Romney to squeak through in WA, AZ, MI, and now by a mere 1% in bellweather OH that would leave inevitably to Romney clinching of the nomination.

Santorum has won in several key states across a geographical spectrum, he’s winning blue-collar “Rust-Belt” voters that went for Obama in 2008, and still we have FReepers here who have their heads buried in the sand.

Having campaigned vigorously and spent a bundle of his own and super-pac money in GA, Gingrich could not get to a 50% threshold in his home state of GA. He either appears to have some kind of grandiose Napoleonic complex or its his sheer ego.

But there is one and only person who is to blame if Romney clinches the nomination, and this is spoiler Gngrich. With his broad gender gap, especially among working women and his sky-high unfavorability ratings, moreso with independents, he’s electorally utterly and totally unelectable. This is the view of a broad swath of conservative analysts as well. Weeks ago before MI, we wish he had taken the advice of columnists at the American Spectator, National Review, and Weekly Standard that he bow out with grace. What a difference it would have made in states like WA, MI, and OH. Le Resistance would have triumphed and Romney would have been out.

It’s not to late to take this advice. He must go and go now!
