This is a question that seems to be glossed over when people argue that Newt will have some sort of power at the Convention as it stands. If he doesn’t win three more states, I don’t see how he get any control on the floor.
Once again the GOP culls the strongest to back the weak.
Gingrich is out of the delegate hunt, since Santorum won his spectacular one day trifecta Gingrich’s continued presence in the race has enabled Romney to move forward with squeaky thin wins as in his own home state of MI and in OH, and now with a distant third place finish in La his quixotic campaign is beyond any rational explanation except to his sugar-daddy Andelson who is using Gingrich as foil to stop Santorum. Those who refuse to see this are denying reality and are acting like the three proverbial monkeys. Paul raises a very interesting question. What Gingrich is doing in WI is inexplicable. He keeps dividing the anti-Romney vote and pushes Romney closer to the magic 1441.
