50% of Santorum turns this into a blowout for Romney. Newt needs to do better than that. I have a sneaking suspicion a large number of those supporters will sit it out now rather than vote for either of the candidates who trashed the one they were supporting. Perhaps if Santorum endorses Romney, some might get angry enough. Hopefully, Santorum will either not endorse or will support Gingrich.

From what I've been told Santorum will endorse Romney, and boy do I hope that is wrong... My point was if Newt is gaining NEW support and, along with that, picks up 50% of Santorum, that would great... much better than where he is now...

The trouble is that most of the “unbound” delegates are part of the GOP-e. They are unlikely to peel away from Romney without a lot of effort.

Of course Santorum will support Romney. Whatever move he needs to make to secure his political ambitions and remain within the Washington loop. We knew that when he refused to drop out when Newt had the ball...in fact many of us knew he was simply the Gop's and medias alternative to Newt...they played the SAntorum hand and it was a win for them and a win For SAntorum....
