Carl Cameron just said on FoxNews that the Romney camp is very happy to know that Gingrich is still in the race.

So dear Mariner, you continue to assert that all of us, Santorum voters and supporters here in FR, and respected news reporters and even the Romney camp are all “delusional beyond belief” because at this stage of the game we believe it is Gingrich who is splitting the conservative vote, his “southern strategies” is in tatters having placed third and fourth in OK and TN, he continues to undermine Le Resistance by allowing Romney to squeak through in WA, AZ, MI, and now in bellweather OH leading to an inevitable clinching of the nomination.

Santorum has won in several key states across a geographical spectrum, he’s winning blue-collar “Rust-Belt” voters that went for Obama in 2008, and you keep saying “Santorum is the greater danger.” Having campaigned vigorously and spent a bundle of his own and super-pac money in GA, Gingrich could not get to a 50% threshold in his home state of GA, and yet you say that “Santorum is the greater danger”? than Obama?

So pray tell us how do you reach this conclusion?

***I think Mariner reaches that conclusion because he is a bandwagon jumper. He can’t think for himself. He waits until the leader decides and then he pushes with all his might to bully others into joining the cause, behind the leader. It’s an authoritarian personality thing. That’s why you’ve got nothing but crickets so far.

“by allowing Romney to squeak through in WA, AZ, MI, and now in bellweather OH”

Baloney.

Santorum couldn’t even beat Ron Paul in Washington, and finished 3rd.

Newt Gingrich didn’t even campaign in Arizona, and Rick couldn’t beat Romney.

Rick blew big leads in both Michigan and Ohio by blowing debates, putting his foot in his mouth, and not getting enough signatures to field delegates. Newt barely campaigned in either.

Get a grip.

It is troublesome. The Washington Times chief reporter said that after being vanquished in Mississipi and Alabama (if it comes to that) Newt Gingrich essentially will be out. Even as it was per tonight, he stated that out of 18 contests so-far in 2012, Newt Gingrich has won only two of them, and even at that, one his home state as might be expected, and the other just in the state next to his home state(SC). He cannot seem to get the traction outside of those narrow geographic parameters in his classification as an anti-Romney. But the decision to stay in is up to Newt Gingrich, whether he continues to want to jeopardize the nomination for all conservatives and end up having Mitt Romney as the standard bearer, in which case we all suffer, or take a risk, and see if Rick Santorum can carry the fire all the way to Tampa. Maybe he needs to "take one for the team", I don't know. One does wonder.

As for the RS team, we need to continue to run lean, mean, grassroots, small-donations, a political guerilla warfare movement straight out of Sun Tzu combined with Ross Perot, George Wallace and Ronald Reagan, all different in their own regard, but each with political lessons. It can be done. Romney can be knocked off kilter, the GOP Establishment and MSM made apoplectic:

“delusional beyond belief”

This in reference to the belief that Santorum can win the general election.

I don't believe he'll win the nomination, and will work against it. If he does I will vote for him in the general.

But yes, "delusional beyond belief" is an apt description of those who believe he can win the general election.
