Time to take another one for the team, Rick. Should have honorably withdrawn after Fla-but hey, better late than never. -:)

Newt will rise again.

[trappedincanuckistan]

I didn’t see this coming :)

[Glenn]

Was this a dream Newt had while he was napping?

[exit82]

Glad this is seeing the light of day. Lots of “unbound” delegates so far in these primaries.

This race is still on. Go Newt!

[Red Steel]

Mr. Gingrich is second with 107 delegates, topping Mr. Santorum's 95 delegates and the 22 delegates pledged to Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.

Oh yeah.

[skeeter]

Newt won his home state, so Santorum should drop out.

Got it.

[Kenny]

Why would Rick stand down when he’s the one winning. Part of Newt’s delegates were before his decline and then there was his home state. If Rick were to “stand down” at this point, Mittens would run away with it

Let’s be real here.

[proudpapa]

Where will the family value voters go if Rick exits???

Santorum has won states in the South, the Rockies, the Plains and the Midwest. So far Newt has had success only in the South.

If anybody is to drop out it should be Newt.

[Lazlo in PA]

Nice spin. Just because the delegates haven’t officially been awarded yet from the above mentioned states Rick won, that doesn’t mean they are not going to him. This is some more wishful thinking by the Newt people. I can find almost no other people using this scenario on where the race stands right now.

[muawiyah]

Best Santorum keep running ~ that way the Church and Choir types will not abandon voting in the primaries. Newt can continue to pull down the Fiscal Conservatives.

That leaves Romney with the "haters".

[The Wizard]

No one wants to say Newt can win, they even misrepresent his total delegates.

[ngat]

Despite what Mark Levin said on his show yesterday (accusing Gingrich of calling for Santorum to withdraw) the only calls for withdrawal I heard was Santorum’s campaign manager calling for Gingrich to withdraw.

Santorum’s supporters are going the wrong direction in trying to get Rick’s conservative competition to quit.

I really don’t think it is in the interest of the conservative attempt to get some representation in the executive branch from the republican party this election for anybody, except maybe Romney, to stand down. JMHO.

[lonevoice]

Current delegate count per the RNC. There have been a lot of contradictory articles floating around about the delegate count, but I think the RNC would have the best handle on it.

Newt is still in this.

[GeronL]

I think its better if they both stay in.

[Mariner]

I've been trying to tell the Santorum advocates on this site for weeks that Santorum's so-called victories in his "Trifecta" meant absolutely nothing.

Of course, they simply ignored the statements.

Not one of them acknowledged the fact.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

No way either one of them can win outright, but together they can deny Myth an outright win.

Bring it to the convention floor. There will be millions of us right outside the door screaming for a conservative, and his name will not be Myth.

I know I will be there.

It will be 1968's Doppelganger.

[Reagan69]

Out NOW, Father Ricky.

[FreeAtlanta]

I really wish these two guys could get together and decide about one stepping down. Heck, the bigger man should just offer to be the VP for the other and then together make a run at Mitt.

[Christie at the beach]

I want a floor fight at the convention.

I will be there/fighting for my conservative.

[ZULU]

ONE of these guys has GOT to stand down or we have to choose between Obama and Obama Lite.

[varmintman]

Somebody needs to talk Santorum into doing something else, he’s the one basic shot we have at losing this thing in November.
