[Engraved-on-His-hands]

Congratulations to Newt Gingrich! I will be voting for him if he is our nominee. If it boils down to him and Romney in the primary, I will definitely vote for Newt.

Rick Santorum may or may not drop out. Time will tell. But, as an early and ardent supporter of Santorum, I would remind some of the supporters of Newt that your man cannot become President without the support of Rick's supporters. I think that some of his advocates might want to watch their comments. On one short thread this evening alone, among the first six comments:

he lacks the balls

a little boy standing on the sidelines watching the big fellows play

the little weasel

These are mild compared to some things that have been said. I'm glad that these comments about this good man are not characteristic of most of the supporters of Newt Gingrich. (Thank you to the vast majority of you who have been much more classy.) Every candidate, even Rick, has vermin among their supporters. I might just remind the Newt supporters not to alienate the supporters of Santorum. You will need them.

Santorum has been pretty gracious towards Newt tonight. I'm also glad he set Brett Baier straight. Brett asked Rick a question about "frontrunner" Romney and Santorum told him right off that Romney has only won one state and why would Romney be referred to as the main obstacle. That there may not be a main obstacle.

It was just what I was thinking!

I agree with you that nobody should be disrespected during this campaign.

But those calling down Santorum are just frustrated and concerned that he may pull enough support from Newt that Romney becomes the nominee.
