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)."

Once again, Newt is spot on! I also think there are “profound reasons” Rick blew his huge advantage last night in Michigan:
1. His robocall asking for Democrat votes. That came off as a bit sneaky and underhanded. Even Rush couldn’t put that one over.
2. Calling the President a snob for saying all kids should go to college. He actually made Obama look like the champion of the poor and middle class!
3. Saying JFK’s speech made him want to throw up. THAT hyperbole was so over the top even Rick had to walk it back.
