I have every intent of voting for Santorum here in Michigan. It looks like a fair number of Gingrich supporters intend to do the same.
I hope my fellow Santorum supporters will do the same in states where Newt is strong in opposition to Romney.
Its time to team up, tie the dog to the roof of the car and send him to Canada.
Excellent post, excellent idea.
Dump Mitt! Then Newt and Rick can discuss the issues and let the Republicans decide.
Defeating Romney, then Obama are the ONLY objectives now.
“I hope my fellow Santorum supporters will do the same in states where Newt is strong in opposition to Romney.”
Amen Cripple - A-M-E-N.
As I said in the video, that’s exactly what I did here in Florida. I wanted to vote for Santorum. Being from Pittsburgh (moved to FL 16 years ago) I remembered how much I admired Rick as a teenager (he was first elected when I was just out of high school). Rick inspired me.
But when this primary came in Florida and I saw Rick was WAY behind in the Florida polls - I made that video “Stop the Romney Sleaze Machine” where I announced my vote for NEWT and urged my fellow conservative friends to do the same.
It was the only option because the soul of this party was more important than me getting my prefered candidate elected. Newt or Rick I will support in the general.
In states where Newt leads (like Georgia and others) we need to vote Newt.
I turned 18 right after President Reagan left office in 1988. I was too young to have the honor of voting for Reagan. NOT ONE TIME has the conservative Republican I supported in the primaries -EVER- won the nomination in my voting lifetime.
I believe we have finally figured out how to beat these liberal bastards who hi-jack our part every year: Conservative Team-Work.
Romney will easily take his campaign all the way to the Convention. The claim that we all need to get together and vote for Santorum, to later help Newt is a Trojan horse to defeat Newt. The subliminal message is that Santorum will gain ALL the momentum and Newt will fall even further. Which is your motive in the first place.
I refuse to support a candidate who is running on a complete facade as to who he truly is. Santorum is a religious zealot who legislates his ideology. He also spends the taxpayers money accordingly, as if he has been endowed by God to redistribute that money accordingly among the needy, or to support his religious agenda.
This is why religion and politics do not mix. Morality is important, but it should not dictate all other outcomes.
Just for the heck of it, I did some reading up about Super Delegates in the GOP. We don’t have particular super delegates, but we do have 3 in almost every state that are usually party heads. In some of those states they have to commit to whoever is the winner of the primary of their state. However, there are states that those 3 delegates can commit to whimver they choose, so it just depends.
This would be another way to possibly put someone over the top.

It appears that the electorate is far more sophisticated than the media and the establishment think they are. If republicans are able to had Romney a defeat in Michigan, it will be a major victory for conservatism. Romney is bleeding and needs to be pushed to third place. If he wins in Michigan and Arizona, he will claim to have regained his momentum.
We’ll see. Tuesday’s not too far away. Hopefully, Rick can hold the line and the lead until then!
As I support both Santorum and Gingrich, I think you have provided an excellent idea.
Gingrich voters should give Michigan to Santorum
Santorum voters should give Georgia to Gingrich
etc
