If it were a two man race all the conservative support and money would go to Rick Santorum and he would stomp Romney into mush.

These rose-colored glasses Newt people are wearing won't filter out Mitt winning the nomination because of him and then Mitt losing to Obama and then all of us losing America.

Gingrich has lost—he fought well but he came up short—now he must choose between his ego and the United States.

I will not relish an “I told you so” when it comes from a “reeducation” camp.

Yes, that would be bad.

The only thing worse is nominating Santorum, who will not only be crushed by Obama but who will lose SO badly that it may cost the House.

Deciding the nominee at the convention, AFTER the events of the upcoming hot summer, is the only way out of this mess.

You're dreaming if you think this is reality.

Newt told Bret Baier on FOX last night that his staying in the race dilutes romney's money when it comes to attack ads.

He is correct, the romney super pac must shoot at two targets and it spreads their funds.

Newt is in the DC race and Santorum isn't so Newt can give Rick cover and at least force mittens to spend time and money.

Don't give up on the idea man, if Newt stays in and no one gets 1144 committed delegates, when the convention opens Tampa, mittens will not pick up any more delegates and there will be delegate swapping and cross over between Newt and Rick and maybe even the crazy uncle from Texas.

There is nothing wrong with an open convention and remember, a can of tomato soup can beat the halfrican, communist prick, if we just make the election about his record.

I’m sorry, but with all I have seen and heard, I just do not believe Santorum can win. There’s a world of difference between him and Newt. Newt is on fire, talking about policy, his vision, with specifics......but just a few days ago, Santorum was still talking about JFK.

Now, that said, if Santorum somehow became the nominee, of course I would support him. Last night some Freepers said they wouldn’s support Romney OR Rick, which, to me, is ridiculous. Yes, I would get behind Santorum if necessary——but it would be with a very heavy heart.

As it stands, I’m still with Newt. I have no doubt he’s the man for the job. He stands head and shoulders above the rest.
