Newt can stay in and help Mitt Romney all he wants by splitting the conservative vote even though the former Speaker is horribly embarrassing himself with miserable showings in HIS South—I'm still supporting Rick Santorum the last true conservative (yeah yeah, bring on the Romney campaign anti-Rick talking points—both Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin know he is a conservative) who actually still has a chance of winning.

So stay in Newt—your numbers are dropping so much so fast hopefully it won't matter anyway--cuz we really don't want Mitt Romney.

How well I remember, when Romney praised the minimum wage, Rush rightly railing about how damaging and counter-productive the minimum wage is, and how wrong Romney was. I said, "Hooray! Atta boy, Rush!"

Not a peep from Rush about how Santorum voted to raise the minimum wage SIX TIMES and has been its staunch defender. And I end up thinking, "Huh? Rush ...???? Hello?"

How well I remember Rush rightly talking about public service sector unions, and how damaging and counter-productive they are. I said, "That's my Rush! Call 'em as you see 'em!"

Yet nary a peep, not a single word that I heard or read from him, about Santorum's staunch support of public unions and his opposition to "right to work" legislation.

At this point, YOU should be thinking, "Huh? Rush??? Wha ...?" Rush is like a whimsical woman, who for some mysterious reason, likes and promotes the agent of things she opposes. It's not the first time I've seen Rush be emotional and inconsistent; this time, the tendency is illustrated in his admiration of Santorum.

I like Levin and Rush, but both of them are emotional in how they relate to Santorum and how they resent (apparently) Gingrich. I have ALWAYS, long before this primary season, indeed for the past five or six years -- had much greater respect for, and trust in, the wisdom of Thomas Sowell. Thomas Sowell is a smarter, clearer, big-picture thinker even than Levin, and that's saying a lot, as I'm a big fan of Levin. Thomas Sowell is consistent, whereas Rush says he believes one thing, then praises a political candidate who has DEMONSTRATED REPEATEDLY that in office, he works against some pretty key aspects of what Rush believes.

Levin and Rush are consistent in how they state conservative political philisophy, but they have proven that they are inconsistent in supporting candidates that best reflect that philosophy.

Thomas Sowell has always been consistent, and when I see that he's thinking the same way I am, I KNOW I'm on the right track. He has made it clear for many months now: Newt Gingrich is the best conservative candidate in the race.

Godspeed Newt Gingrich.
