Congratulations to Rick Santorum.
I still want Newt to stay in to the convention. I think that he should stay in until someone has 1144 committed delegates and I don’t think anyone will before the convention. It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.

If Gingrich’s voters would essentially split between Santorum and Romney if he dropped out, then you’re right. Tonight was a good example. Gingrich took some of Santorum’s delegates, but he also took some of Romney’s. Splitting the pie in thirds gives Romney less delegates than if it’s split into halves.
However, we’re going to hit some winner take all states, and I honestly think a healthy majority of Gingrich’s votes will go to Santorum, enabling him to win those states, whereas Romney might walk away with the entire delegation if Gingrich stays in.
Interesting situation, but I think Gingrich is about to rapidly run out of campaign funding, and that will be what does him in, and probably soon, given the results tonight.

Very dangerous. Realize that the majority of delegates remaining are in “winner take all” states, and that further splitting of the conservative base can only help Romney seal the deal.
I wanted Newt to garner more support and be the guy to go on, but we simply can’t have Romney. If we do, then we’re looking at Obama winning in November.

he must stay in of possible, for one reason. He is the only one that has the guts to go after Obama. The other 2 act like they are scared of offending that POS Marxist. I am so over this election.
