Conservative candidates need to coalese into a single candidate to face Romney...or they will lose. They should do so immediately after SC. I am afraid if they wait until after Florida, and if Romney (who is leading in the polls in SC and FL - mainly because of the conservative split) wins SC ad FL...it may be too late.
I believe that this is what these numbers are clearly saying.
Santorum, Perry, Newt...find a way to come together...soonest!
At this point, there are good sized groups that will not vote for each of those you mentioned. Some of the anti-Santorum people in Newt’s camp seem to prefer Romney to Santorum. There are those in the Santorum camp who will not vote for Newt, especially after some of the comments that have come out of Newt’s followers.
