Newt was my choice too......but come on man... You say Levin and Limbaugh act like Gingrich isn't even in the race, but Newt himself acts this way lately. He's been saying Romney is the likely nominee for days now, Newt's campaign is flat broke (in the hole 4.5 million), he has not been able to win over GOP primary voters, etc. I mean, it is what it is.

What seems to be happening is you (among other people) are shocked, yet again, that conservative and Republican standard bearers are rallying behind the GOP nominee. This happens every time and will always happen. Politics is as much about defeating the opposition party as it is about advancing your own ideology. We have a 2 party system with NO ability to form coalition governments. As such, we will very rarely have an opportunity to vote for someone in a national general election campaign we are truly excited about. Levin and Limbaugh are simply being pragmatic, and they are right.

first, I am not a man, I am a woman :)

And, no, I am not at all surprised at Santorum, the GOP, the establishment, I am surprised at Levin. That is why I posted here. I don't understand him doing this at all... Not at all. It really is hurting me.

Oops, sorry bout' that. Thanks for taking my error in stride though :)

I hear ya, but honestly, you really shouldn't have expected anything else. They are being pragmatic. Newt has no money, is polling below Ron Paul, just bounced a $500 filing fee to get on the ballot in Utah, etc. I'm sorry, but it is time to face reality here. That is all Levin is doing. He obviously hates that the GOP will be nominating yet another RINO, but he has a responsibility to be realistic, straightforward and honest - and he feels beating Hussein is just too important and therefore was always going to support the GOP nominee no matter who it was.
