I’m not concerned with Rick not being on the ballot in DC. But if all this points to why Rick can’t win, and Rick is thumping Newt, Mitt and Ron. Who can win? If Newt was doing so well, where has he won besides South Carolina? In my opinion, Newt’s negatives are too high to win in a general election. We all have opinions. What matters is results. I am not asking for anyone to get out till after Super Tuesday.

If Newt cannot sweep the South, there is not ANY way he could take the nomination. If Rick stays hot, he can get there. He is leading in Michigan. He will likely take Pennsylvania. Time will tell if he can do well in the South. If Rick and Newt cannot enough to stay on top, they should both stay in the hope of a brokered convention.

Rick won't take PA. over Newt....that's just not going to happen unless 'the left' keeps pushing Santorum as they're doing now. Don't under estimate Newt's keen ability to play this Primary to his advantage. He is known to lay low and let...as Santorum is doing...things line up...Rick's doing just fine arranging that but he has zip delegates to win him the election or way to attain them since he's not registered in states he would need.....not possible for Santorum. The most he can do is pitch hit with Newt to keep Romney at bay and that's exactly what's happening.

The buzz is even the GOP is willing to take this to a brokered convention to keep Newt from winning....and they've apparently got Jeb Bush hooked up to step forward, though he flatly refused to run in this Primary...this might be the GOP cover if Romney dropped the ball.

That's why Newt has already stated he would indeed stay in this race all the way to the convention...Newt knows what they're up to and is not afraid to face them down there if necessary
