Keep going, Newt, deny Romney delegates. Three way splits are not going to beat Romney. The only chance is to don't let Mitt get the total delegates. Newt, keep going-some of us understand what you are trying to do after FLA. The media hates you-the party hates that you are doing this to precious Mittens. Nothing matters now, take delegates. Newt focus on how Romney is tearing the republican party to the seams with his Romneycare. Time to pour it on Mittens.

Au contraire. A perfect gentleman, and team player, who realizes at this late stage he needs the near-miracle of three more states to come in FIRST in order to even be nominated (name placed in nomination) at the GOP convention in Tampa, would realize that the battle is over, and time to a) suspend; b) endorse the remaining anti-Romney; and c) release delegates and urge them to vote for the anti-Romney. We can much more easily “deny Romney further delegates” under the united Santorum banner, along with the endorsements of Perry and Cain and (marginially, Palin) which would also follow because of their support of Gingrich, than we can under the split, internecine banners of two conservative candidates, one eligible to go up against Romney in the RNC Tampa Roll Call of the States, and one who isn’t even there yet (under Convention Rule 40(b). )
