Gingrich can perform one last service for the GOP, drop out and endorse Santorum.

Wait a minute. Strike that, reverse it.

Time for Newt to do the honorable thing and declare he’s staying on through the entire rest of the primary because he’s the ONLY CONSERVATIVE OF THE BUNCH!

We have no one to carry the torch other than him. No one else will try to reign in the spending or fix the courts.

It is time for
Romney-the-Nasty-Backstabbing-Illegible-Shapeshifter
TO PULL OUT.

If Newt and Rick announced an alliance and themselves as a ticket.

Romney would be toast.

Funny, I have cancelled long time subscriptions to both the American Spectator and the National Review in the last few years.

Romney should withdraw.

I don’t trust the motivation or political intelligence behind either of these organizations or anybody else calling for this right now.

Mitt must be stopped at any cost.

IF either one of the remaining conservative candidates drop out it just makes it easier for Mitt to focus his dirty campaign tactics on the remaining conservative candidate.

I’m not a Newt supporter, but let me remind everyone that McCain lost 16 states. None of these guys, except for the show pony Paul is out of it.

Now that his big money backer is openly admitting to helping Newt only as a means of helping Romney, Newt needs to do something.

>>If Mr. Gingrich could afford to continue campaigning, one of those people said, he might be able to draw off conservative and evangelical voters from Mr. Santorum, improving the chances of Mitt Romney, who Mr. Adelson believes has a better chance to win November’s general election.<<

The establishment draws a line in the sand to protect its lapdog Little Ricky as he ushers their picked horse Mitt across the finish line.

Newt is going no where. There is no “honor” in his dropping out. They will just have to keep their panties in a wad.

The establishment is getting quite panicked by the thought their guy might lose this thing..after all its Mitt's turn...

There will be daily articles calling for Newt to get out and when Newt comes back there will be daily articles calling for Rick to get out...

They have all ready started gushing about the horrors of a brokered convention..Paul is stuffing it with his delegates, Jeb will emerge from the smokey back room blah blah blah...

If conservatives want a conservative president they need to tell the establishment to flip off and do everything they can to make sure Romney does not get the nomination.

Having Newt and Santorum in the race does not split the conservative vote it keeps Romney from taking the nomination from the Conservatives

That's Newt Gingrich's decision, in consultation with his Creator and his families, not mine.

Furthermore, all I want to concentrate on now is being positive, kicking Romney's ass (figuratively speaking), and racking up as many states and delegates into the "Game On! / Fear The Vest" camp's (Sen. Rick Santorum) column as possible, heading into Tampa. Furthermore, we need an airtight, tough, Conservative, Tea Party-flavored GOP 2012 Convention Platform. I assume the drafting is being done as we talk over at the RNC. I bet they are screwing it up. We are going to have do do all kinds of re-writes in Platform Committee meetings with Santorum as the standard bearer. Job One.

Who’s the “Mike Huckabee” of the 2012 election? Staying in long enough to screw any chances of even a semi-conservative getting the nod? Is it Newt or Santorum?

I think the spoiler is Newt.

By staying in, he makes Santorum a better candidate.

Romney’s group is running negative ads in Ohio non-stop, against Newt. Losing Gingrich would be a devastating blow to this country and I pray people take the time to realize the depth of hs man.

Let the voters decide but it would be nice if Newt quits channeling his inner femininst.

I believe in 1976 that Reagan lost 8 of the first 9 races against Ford. There were calls for Reagan to drop out. He held firm, started winning and came to within about 60 delegates of defeating Ford.

American Spectator can bug off.
