> Don’t be like the establishment and tell us we have to vote for their candidate because ours can’t win

I didn't say that. What I said was, "Rick Santorum is a good man, but he should release his followers in Florida to vote for Newt. A Gingrich win in Florida would be HUGE!". I'm not telling anyone how to vote.

I think Santorum can and should stay in the race. But Florida is "winner take all" and Rick clearly is not going to win. So in terms of blocking Romney from an important psychological advantage, letting his followers decide FOR THEMSELVES if they wish to give Newt a boost for this primary could make a difference.

To stay in the Florida contest given certain defeat, and effectively act only as a spoiler, leads me to wonder if Rick wants Romney to win the nomination, if Rick himself does not.

In any case, fret not, I wasn't telling anybody how to vote. :)

Only God knows the future. To say that Rick wants romney to win is below the belt. Right now the Catholic church (I'm not Catholic) is finally going after obama because of him forcing contraception coverage in the obamacare. This may pull some Catholics from obama & they may want to go with a Catholic. Hopefully everyone is praying for this election asking God to take out Obama. We need to trust God and see what HE might be doing. There will be a time when we need to cut and run to whoever is doing the best against romney, but that time is not yet.
