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.
Agreed...and the quicker they come together behind a single conservative, the less of those problems there will be.
Newt can shoot himself in the foot (as can the others). I believe this whole attack by Newt regarding Bain Capitol is one such moment. Most people I talk to do not like it and feel (though we know the left will use it) that it is hurting Newt more than it is hurting Romney.
These guys need to come together and find a single candidate, then stick to very conservative prinicples and differentiate those against principally Obama and that will solidify the base, bring them together, and help overcome Romney.
Anyhow, just my opinion.
