Yes, this is true. And provides all the more reason why we must solidy secure the anti-Romney vote in the remaining states. It is now confirmed by PPP and other exit polling data that between 48%-57% of the Gingrich vote would go to Santorum. Gingrich’s campaign is in the red, he’s registering record (60%) negatives among women according to a new ABC-Washington Post poll, and his support even among men is declining, his southern strategy has been reduced to ashes, he was seen strolling in zoos and parks during key primary contests, so he really has no legitimate purpose to continue in this race. Even ostriches with their heads buried in the sand occasinally raise their eyes to the sky to get a glimpse of reality. That time has come although it may be a bit too late in the game. Romney triumphed decisively in IL winning major demographics and for all intents and the purpose the Fat Lady now sings. We cannot act like inmates in a mental ward and continue to be in perpetual denial.

Your post has one major flaw.

He is already getting pressure from the GOP-E, Beck, and others to drop out now

Newt needs to stay in the race until the end to keep Santorum honest. There is no garauntee that Santorum will stay in the race to the end.

I don’t understand why people are still pushing for Newt to drop out. That is the surest way Romney gets to 1144. If Newt were to drop out about half his support goes to Rick and half to Romney. A draw.

“Newt needs to stay in the race until the end to keep Santorum honest. There is no garauntee that Santorum will stay in the race to the end.”

Honest? WTH, Newt is hardly the guy to keep someone else “honest”.

That is hilarious. If Santorum does not stay in. Romney will get to the nomination very quickly. A person who just won 8% in the last primary has no way to keep Romney from running away with it.
