RE "Don't really know what to make of this" -- How about, the GOP has tentacles, embeds, promises of power that we have yet to uncover or imagine. And people are weak and easily bought off... even those in the Tea Party... I'm thinking DeMint in particular..
I am hoping that all of the true conservatives, tea party members, and generally all those who are sick of getting pushed around coalesce around Santorum. I hope Newt keeps working the delegates too. I don’t want another “progressive”. I want a conservative and I know I am not alone out there.
