Does this mean that he will instruct his delegates, such as they are, to vote for Romney on the first vote? The article is not clear on this.

I have kept quiet about Newt for the past few months, but it must be said that what he mostly accomplished was to siphon votes from Rick, who was a pretty steady second once he came back into the running.

I’m not blaming anyone for supporting Newt, although I was pretty annoyed about the way so many people attacked Rick, using left wing lies from the media. Possibly Romney could have been stopped if Newt had thrown his support behind Rick when it became obvious that he had no chance of winning. Too late for that, now.

But I do wish he would hang on to his delegates, such as they are, until we we are sure where we stand at the convention. It’s not over till it’s over. But if he hands over the delegates now, that will pretty much kill any slight chance of heading Romney off at the pass.

Sorry, but I could see that Rick Santorium was a bit weak from the very start and somehow knew he would not make it through to the convention if it were brokered. How I wish that we’d end up with a brokered convention and a Newt/Santorium ticket or a Newt/Ryan ticket replace whatever the Romney/____ ticket will be.

I want tank strength in the whitehouse...not wimps as the world is watching..
