Newt was trying to win the GOP nomination from Romney. It was a good cause.

No, his ego got in the way of getting a conservative nominee - although it might not be too late - by taking away votes and delegates from Santorum. If we get stuck with Romney, Gingrich will be to blame.

Sorry, if we get stuck with Romney, we are ALL
to blame.

We did what we could.....but did we really?

FACT: For THIRTY-FOUR days, Santorum had no traction and Newt surged in the delegate count by a wide two-one margin.

FACT: In no polling would Santorum take more than 57% of Newt's supporters. On his best day, with not even 6 in 10 moving to Santorum, Santorum still falls to Romney unless he was within 2% on his own. That's the math.

The last, best, opportunity to take Romney down was around Florida.

Santorum refused to exit. Pursuing non-binding caucuses in Feb. to create a false image of strength and viability, he ensured Romney would be the nominee.

I'm sick of the lies spread by the smug and sanctimonious twerps pimping Santorum, a candidate who--like Obama--is faultless for his followers.
