But right now the conservative vote is split. The establishment vote is unified. We conservatives can't win this way.
For you Newt supporters, I'd rather unify with your Gingrich than see Romney lose in the general.
For you Santorum supporters, I'd rather unify with your Rick than see Romney lose in the general.
And for you Perry supporters, I'm sorry but it looks like he'll be leaving soon.
I'm past looking solely at one candidate, I'm looking to preventing Obama from having a re-match with McCain. That's my #1 goal. Mitt McCain must be stopped. We already know how 2008 ended up.
Like I have been saying for days the best thing that ever happened to Romney was the Santorum surge.
Santorum doesn’t stand a chance of beating Romney, but will split off enough conservative from Gingrich to hand the nomination to Romney.
i really wish that the folks in Texas who are discussing getting behind one candidate would hurry up and do so. There is a large group of pastors and conservative leaders who are going to settle once and for all and get behind a candidate. They want to do this after the South Carolina primary, but I don’t see why they can’t do this now. I think they started discussions this past weekend.
So... you are ready to hold your nose and vote for non-Romney?

Happens every four years. That is how we ended up with: George H. W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush and John McCain.
I vote Newt.
Florida: Mitt-36, Newt-24, Santorum-16
South Carolina: Mitt-30, Newt-23, Santorum-19
Santorum’s bounce out of Iowa has already peaked and started to fade in N.H..
It’s pretty clear what’s going on here.

The funny part of this poll: Huntsman at 2%. Last year, the Hussein employee opened his national campaign headquarters in Orlando, and a fawning Florida media praised his presence.
Then they were silent when he left Florida with his tail between his legs.
What is the evidence Santorum’s support would largely go to Gingrich?
I suspect this is true but all along the process someone has claimed if you vote for this guy you are electing Obama or Rom
Otherwise, the overall effect is all the candidates are fighting harder. While Romney hasn’t taken a knock out punch I have notice he is taken a couple that made him wobble a bit.
I personally would like to see Santorum or Gingrich to land a TKO that totally takes him out of the equation.
Leaving a choice between Santorum or Gingrich.
I think in that situation Gingrich would win the nom.
Quinnipiac is one of the most unreliable polls with a very liberal bent.
I think Newt is extremely capable in talking the two Rick's into joining his team to defeat Romney.
Let's have a Newt/Santorum ticket and put Perry in a cabinet position.
Come on guys, join forces and win!
Amen!!!!!
We must be about the STOP MITT EXPRESS.
I’m not buying this. Romney has never polled above 25% except in NH.
Romney 36
Gingrich/Santorum anti-Romney 40
total anti-Romney 64
If more than half are squishy, this has no value as a poll, only a way of framing a particular writer's opinion, and getting some agreement from 46% of a small set of some people that claimed that they were republican, were registered, and were going to vote.
Otherwise we might as well accept that the used car salesman will be the candidate.
Hang in there. Plenty of time remains yet for Gingrich to slip further and Santorum to pass both he and Romney.
