While I like the idea that Romney will be more assured to be beaten this way, it’s also a way of stealing Santorum’s thunder if he should win.
Santorum was looking like he was pulling Michigan out, and now it will look like he only won because Newt asked his folks to vote for him.
One wonders how much this was to beat Romney, and how much it was just to steal Santorum’s thunder.
If not one Gingrich supporter votes for Santorum, it will still be said that the only reason he won was because of Newt.
ahh - you mean how Newt won South Carolina because the big guns, Palin included, said, “Vote for Newt or it’s over and you get Romney?”
