Favorite Son Rick Santorum leads former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 41 - 35 percent among likely voters in Pennsylvania's Republican presidential primary, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul has 10 percent, with 7 percent for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
With three weeks before the primary, 6 percent of likely voters remain undecided and 37 percent of those who name a candidate say they still could change their mind, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. This is the first look at likely voters and cannot be compared with earlier surveys of registered voters.
---------------------------
It's better for the Republican Party if Santorum stays in the race, 57 percent of likely primary voters say, while 33 percent say it's better for the party if Santorum drops out.

Thank you for your post. We're all busy, and I understand how easy it is to miss a post.
Just for clarification...my intentions in voting in Pa. is to vote later in the day rather than early....My first choice without any reservations would be for Newt....if he’s not trending well then I have no choice but vote for Santorum to keep Romney at bay.......and by doing so who knows then what might come if this goes to convention..as I hope it will do.......in that case will remain in Newt’s court.
I have no joy voting “against” a candidate. .....if it comes to that. Either in the Primary or the General.
