Again, Newt is great but superfluous—it's between Mitt and Rick now.
Newt said it would be a “serious blow” to any of the candidates to lose their home states. He didn’t say anyone should pull out.
Newt is the only true statesman in the race. That hardly makes him “superfluous”. He mentored and helped Santorum when Santorum was a young Congressman. To say that Newt has done more for this nation than the other two candidates put together would be an understatement.
