Frankly, some of Newt’s supporters are delusional. Why should Rick drop out? He has beaten Romney in 7 states, came extremely close in 3 others, and when he doesn’t win, he usually comes in second to Romney. Rick has shown he can connect with Midwestern and Southern voters. If Newt had won those states and was consisntently ahead in the polls in upcoming states, then you would have a case. At this point, to ask a 2nd place candidate to toss his support to a candidate who has done worse with the electorate than him makes no sense.

I also wonder why the Newt supporters must continue to try to prop up their candidate by using demeaning names towards Rick like “Little Ricky”, “Sanctimonium”, “Saint Rick”, etc. I do not attack Newt because he is not the enemy. Newt supporters put much more effort on here into attacking Santorum than Romney.

Yes, why are Newt supporters so mean and nasty to us? To our candidate? I don’t have a problem with them not liking Santorum as much, and explaining why. But why all the mean spirited names and insults? I have criticized newt but also given him credit where it’s due.

The truth right now is that out there in the elections, where it counts, Santorum gets dang close to Romney where Romney wins. And just a small amount of newt’s votes would help santo beat Romney.
