Newt’s job is to take down Mittens. This is ckear to me, if Newt bows out and endorses Rick Santorum they will crush Mittens. Newt has too much baggage to win the general election. Rick Santorum is rock solid and will be the candidate that conservatives can go to work for in the general election.
Generally, it is the low vote getter coming out of SC, that bows out.
That would be Santorum at a fading 14.
Gingrich/Santorum a possible.
