Why would Romney target Gingrich?
This from Public Policy Polling. See what happens if Gingrich drops off: It would be worse for Romney if Gingrich pulls out.
“Rick Santorum has all the momentum in Michigan right now,” Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling, said in a press release. “But it’s important to note that more than 50 percent of voters say they could change their minds in the next two weeks. There’s a lot of room for this race to shift back toward Romney in the coming days.”
“Voters were more likely to have a favorable opinion of Santorum (67 percent) than Romney (49 percent) in the PPP poll.”
“If Gingrich dropped out of the GOP presidential nomination race, his support is more likely to flow to Santorum than Romney, the poll indicates. If just Romney, Santorum and Paul were in the race, Santorum would get 48 percent (up from 39 percent if Gingrich were in) and Romney 27 (up from 24 percent).”

GET OVER IT. NO ONE will “drop out” until the Tampa Convention.
“Four rabbis had a series of theological arguments, and three were always in accord against the fourth.
One day, the odd rabbi out, after the usual “3 to 1, majority rules” statement that signified that he had lost again, decided to appeal to a higher authority.
“Oh, God!” he cried. “I know in my heart that I am right and they are wrong! Please give me a sign to prove it to them!”
It was a beautiful, sunny day. As soon as the rabbi finished his prayer, a storm cloud moved across the sky above the four. It rumbled once and dissolved. “A sign from God! See, I’m right, I knew it!” But the other three disagreed, pointing out that storm clouds form on hot days.
The rabbi was getting ready to ask for a *very big* sign,
but just as he said, “Oh God...,” the sky turned pitch
black, the earth shook, and a deep, booming voice intoned,
“HEEEEEEEE’S RIIIIIIIGHT!”
The rabbi put his hands on his hips, turned to the other
three, and said, “Well?”
“So,” shrugged one of the other rabbis, “now it’s 3 to 2.”
