Unfortunately, with Santorum gone, I believe the opportunity to stop Romney from attaining the magic number goes with him. My analysis suggested at this point every non-Romney left had to maximize their take and stay in the race.

But with Rick out, it would come down to Newt (with Perry's support) vs. Romney for Texas' winner take all.

With Santorum out, perhaps Newt can pick up 3 more states so he meets the GOPE's odd rule in the fantasy scenario where Mitt comes up short.

I am thankful to have anyone to vote for besides Romney. It is not right that a state as large in delegates has to settle for last man standing.
