I never said “remaining” as I was discussing the entire campaign, but you aren’t the only one who I think was confused by that.

I don’t count Gingrich in the list; my list was Santorum, Bachman, Cain, and Perry.

I do think I’m too hard on Gingrich though. He’s certainly conservative, or was at one time. He’s not “consistant”, and the others were more so, and after 2008 I don’t want to settle unless I have to.

Point taken. Thanks for clarifying.

Hence my confusion because I saw both Cain and Bachmann as OUT and included Gingrich.

I support Gingrich but fully understand many conservatives dislike/distrust of him. For me, looking at the available field and trying to pre-empt a brokered convention brought on by "the establishment" to hand the nomination to Jeb Bush I see Newt as the most likely warrior to prevent that end and have the largest number of conservatives and Republicans rally to defeat Obama in the fall.

FWIW,
