I think the Santorum supporters can at least take comfort in knowing that if Santorunm happened to be polling better than Newt right now, Santorum would be the official candidate of FR, and the Gingrich folks would be getting zotted.

Your guy isn’t accepted because he’s conservative, he’s just the only guy left to stop Romney.

Yes, sir.

Personally I'm not so sure he can stop Romney. Seems to be an awful lot of hope placed in a man who has won exactly 1 primary and it was in a state where he should have never trailed in to begin with. New england and the west coast will most likely go to Romney as well as a few midwestern and southwestern states.

In fact, if Newt was the great white hope, why didn't he rocket to the top early on in Iowa and stay there. for that matter, Santorum is the only one who won on neutral ground and Romney spent years and millions of dollars there.

That would never happen. Santorum is very dull and, therefore, would never be able to maintain any high level in the polls. There isn’t an alternate dimension somewhere where Santorum got the lucky poll surge and kept it up forever.

This is Newt’s nomination to win. Santorum’s presence can only hurt Newt and help Romney.
