I wonder where Newt’s votes will go when he drops out...to Santorum or Romney? My bet is they will all go Santorum...this means that Romney is really losing by 10 points in every state if you add those two together.
If Newt drops out, I will not be bothering with the primary in my state.
I will vote against Obama in the election.
DELEGATE RACE AS IT STANDS NOW:
Romney- 154, of those 36 are non-binding= 118 solid
Santorum- 69, of those 52 are non-binding= 17 solid
Gingrich- 33, of those 3 are non-binding= 30 solid
Paul- 26, of those 18 are non-binding= 8 solid

Romney- 1,749,677
Gingrich- 978,229

So willyd, why don’t we compare solid delegate counts on Wednesday morning. Or better yet, why don’t we compare solid delegate counts on March the 14th. Then we will see who needs to be talking about dropping out.
You’d do better wondering where Santorum’s votes would go if he dropped out. His numbers look better until you take a real look at them Despite the drop from grace (smears worked) Newt is far more popular (and capable) than Rick. Pushing Rick over Newt now is like hopping up a race horse - he might win this bout, but will likely drop dead.
