I hope Newt, Rick , and even Ron Paul stay in to keep delegates away from Mittens.

Thats true in proportional delegate states but in winner take all states it hands the race to Romney and he'll run away with it.

Most of the 8 winner-take-all states are not strictly winner-take-all unless a candidate wins a majority of the vote, and other modifications:

-New York, win the majority or it is proportional:

-Connecticut, same as New York

-Utah is winner-take-all and you don't need the majority. But Santo can forget this state even without Newt.

-Indiana, "Delegate Selection: Combined Selection [Winner-Take-All Primary for District Delegates with Caucus/Convention]"

-California is winner-take-all by Congressional district.

And

- Wisconsin, Winner-Take-All "by district and statewide"
