Its time for Newt to drop. Santorum has the momentum and Newt has too much baggage. Fair or not he can not win now. All he does is split the Conservative vote - time to take your own advice Newt.

You don't know what "baggage" Santorum has because he's not been vetted, neither by the left NOR the right.

In the "baggage" dept., Santorum is considerably more risky than Newt because of that.

GODSPEED NEWT GINGRICH.

If Rick Santorum ends up as our nominee, we are going to lose the election by 10+ points. Sorry, Santorum lost his home state by 18 the last time around - he'd be destroyed by Obama. With Santorum at the top of the ticket, we'd likely even lose House again and have no chance to win the Senate.

Not saying Rick should drop, he has a right to be in the race - but Newt is the only real alternative to Romney. We may still lose with Newt, but it would be like throwing a hail mary that might really force actual change. Gingrich would articulate conservatism like no one else in the race can (even if he hasn't always walked the walk), go after the media in a way few other politicians could, and otherwise potentially change the dynamic of the election. Santorum can't do that. Rick is a bland, not particularly charismatic guy who has been stereotyped into a corner as a social issues candidate - and this election will be about the economy not social issues.

That Santorum is actually doing well speaks more to how poor our field of candidates really is, not how terrific Rick is as a potential nominee.

It matters little I suppose. With Newt and Rick both in the race, the chameleon will eventually be nominated and we will go back to having another empty RINO shell as a nominee. Coulter and others will wet themselves with glee, but we all know Romney is not a conservative and can only win if Hussein makes so many mistakes he literally implodes.

You do realize that Foster Friess met with Romney?

That Friess gave millions to Romney in 2008 and all of a sudden is bankrolling Santorum just to take enough delegates from Gingrich to put Romney over the top?

That Santorum was literally broke until Friess stepped in ?

That Friess will cut his funding as soon as Gingrich drops out?

That Romney’s proxy is paying for Santorum to stay in the race?

There is no momentum, only gullible fools, easily manipulated by MYTH and the GOP establishment.
