I am not ready to throw in the towel. Last night could prove to be the best possible outcome. Newt didn’t campaign in MI, in essence telling Santorum, “Okay, let’s see what you got.” Santorum went there with HUGE momentum and wall-to-wall support from Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin. And he couldn’t beat Romney, even though a week or so ago he was ahead by what, 10 points? Rick and his supporters might blame Newt (if he had only told his supporters to vote for me) or Romney (all those negative ads) but the truth is, Rick did this to himself.
It’s time for Rick to go, although I have no illusions he will.
You have expressed how I feel exactly. For 2 weeks, on Sarah Palin’s facebook, Newt supporters were often posting that they would help stop Mitt in Michigan possibly making Newt’s numbers even lower. I respect Newt. The media is out to stop him at all costs.
True. Newt said Rick had a fairly open road being the conservative alternative.
""You will see things start to clarify if, as people expect, you end up with a Romney victory in Michigan. I think you'll see Santorum getting a very different look," Gingrich said. "He has had two weeks of being the alternative. The fact is, I think there are profound reasons that Rick lost the Senate race by the largest margin in Pennsylvania history in 2006 and I think it's very hard for him to carry that all the way to the general (election)."

Your post made me chuckle because all you have to do is change the names around and you get a replay of the Florida debacle for Newt.
