Maybe Santorum leaving the race would have left enough support for Newt to have a stronger showing that some supporters of Mitt would have gone for Newt. Newt would have taken Iowa, if Santorum hadn’t been there.

Not complaining about Santorum, per se, but merely explaining the political consequences.

Make no mistake, the longer the Santorum stays in the race, the harder it is for Newt to win.

Santorum should also realize, that if he does screw over Newt, there will be a lot of Conservatives who will not vote for him because of it, no matter where he runs.

How would Santorum “screw over Newt”?

We have 50 states and they all need to have a choice in the primary.

...which is why he's where he's at in this primary because of what he did the last time. I'm almost certain that if he drops out he will endorse Romney again and do it claiming "he is the only one that can beat Obama"

Sorry Rick, that's not good enough for me.

Yep those solid conservatives will step in that booth and vote straight ticket democrat.
