Santorum should drop out and endorse Newt after S. Carolina. Staying in after such a loss will just split the conservative vote and allow Romney to win.
Santorum is bitter. Much as I hate to say it, he will endorse romney out of pure spite.
“Santorum should drop out and endorse Newt after S. Carolina. Staying in after such a loss will just split the conservative vote and allow Romney to win.”
And he doesn’t care - his ego trumps doing what’s best for the cause. I hope I’m wrong, but I predict he’ll endorse Romney. Only in this case, his followers will NOT do the same (thankfully). Santorum seems to greatly resent Newt. Of course, when you examine RS’s voting record, you see that he’s much more in tune with Mittens politically - both are big government guys.
