Santorum has a temper. Not ready for presidential level debates. Obama will drag him into contraceptives, religious issues, Spanish issues, and make him look extreme, although he is not extreme. Go with Newt, the proven debater, has experience at Speakership level in politics, which is 3rd in line for presidency.

The upcoming March/April primaries are : Louisiana, District of Columbia, Maryland, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. That's 375 delegates inside the next four weeks.

Now name one of these states that Gingrich has even a remote chance of winning.

Gingrich may be the smartest guy in the room; I've said so myself. But the baggage that comes with him is too heavy for the common man to bear apparently. I know Louisiana will break for Santorum. I believe my home state of Wisconsin will break for Santorum as will Maryland. I would bet money on Pennsylvania. The surrounding east coast states of Connecticut, Delaware, New York, and Rhode Island (and similarly D.C.) will be battle grounds ... head to head between Romney and Santorum ... with zero opportunity for Gingrich or Paul.

It all boils down to: do you trust the delegate negotiating that comes with a contested convention to work in our favor? Or can you live with Santorum for four years? The only other option is Romney. I, for one, will not live with that for four years. Much better to deal with Obama for two years and fill the houses with conservatives in 2014. Let him try to rule by fiat and see how far that gets him.
