Not everyone agrees. I am listening to Chris Horner, Frank Gaffney, Micheal Ledeen on the radio.

They don’t seem to think “little Rickey” is over at all.

Little Rickey happens to have more delegates than Newt.

So perhaps we should be asking “Little Newt” to drop out.

He couldn’t get more than 6.5% in Michigan. If it wasn’t for Newt, Rick would be sailing to the nomination.

It is always easier when you have no competition. That is why Newt asked Rick to drop out after Newt won one state. LOL

Yep. If Newt drops out, Romney is toast. Rick needs to dangle something in front of Newt that he wants. But what would it be besides POTUS?

Let’s say Little Ricky gets the nomination. Obama will destroy this 98 lb. weakling toot sweet. An agitated little child in a man’s body who thinks he’s a preacher. Just who I want to vote for, for president. Not.

Wait until after Super Tuesday. Santorum really stepped in some serious filth in MI when and HOW he pandered to Democrats. (See following article that sums it up)

Wall Street Billionaires and Michigan Workers

By Jay Nordlinger

46In his robocall to Michigan voters, Rick Santorum is saying, “Romney supported the bailout for his Wall Street billionaire buddies, but opposed the auto bailout. That was a slap in the face to every Michigan worker.”

For almost 60 years now, National Review has worked against this kind of crudity — crudity of thought and crudity of expression. And this is our guy? Santorum is the conservatives’ guy?

Many conservatives supported the bank bailout and opposed the auto bailout. You can look up arguments within NR editorials. Conservatives all over the country, in all sorts of forums, made arguments for and against — for and against either bailout. Those arguments continue now, retrospectively.

But is there any thinking or respectable conservative who uses Rick Santorum’s language — the bank bailout was for Mitt Romney’s “Wall Street billionaire buddies” while Michigan workers got their faces slapped? (Santorum opposed the auto bailout, too. Was he slapping workers’ faces?)

Ladies and gentlemen, this isn’t conservatism. It’s more like street-corner Marxism. What a strange and tragic pass we’ve reached.”

Newt did not compete in Michigan and Santorum still couldn't close the deal which he had in his grasp only days and hours before.

You make a mistake thinking Newt voters will all go for Santorum, just as I know from polling Santorum voters will bleed to Romney vs. Newt.

Santorum rambled endlessly last night in his concession. He rambled incoherently trying to defend himself in the Arizona debate, the first time he even started to feel heat as a frontrunner. He's a mess.

Newt asked Rick to get out because there was an opportunity for a one-two punch there: SC then FL. That opportunity is long gone.
