Here in Minnesota I voted for Santorum. I would have gone with Newt but heard just days before our caucus that Santorum was polling well and had a chance to win MN, so I voted for Rick to stop Romney.
I think Newt is our candidate, presented to our nation in this time of great need by God on a silver platter, but our hearts and minds are too obscured to see it.
Gingrich is a good man- but at this point in time he needs to put country first and gracefully withdraw. If by any chance Romney pulls off a win in either MI or AZ, he has Gingrich to thank for. Romney is pulling ahead of Santorum with the female vote although not by much, but his lead with this demographic is leaps and bounds over Gingrich who gets mainly the male vote. If Gingrich drops off, much of this male vote will go into the Santorum column. The sure and decidedly clear way to stop Romney is for Gingrich to withdraw.
Early in the race, Gingrich himself wanted Santorum to withdraw. But now Gingrich doesn’t have a snowball in hell’s chance of winning any more states with the possible exception of GA and even there his lead is very narrow. His campaign is kept alive only because of Vegas gambling mogul Adelson who may have ulterior motives in slowing down Santorum’s momentum and in effect helping Romney. There is a distinct possibility that the Gingrich die-hards are being taken for a ride.
From the get-go, Gingrich came into the race with baggage large enough to fit into the holds of a luxury liner and make it sink. His negatives are through the cellar. It’s time for him and all of us to face reality. Gingrich can make a good Sec. of Education or Labor in a Santorum administration.
