Krauthammer said it best just now. Outside of his home state, Gingrich went 0 for 9 tonight.
On the other hand, the Santorum/Gingrich vote combined won five states, GA, OH, ND, TN, and OK, and would probably win Alaska as well.
Put simply, either Gingrich or Santorum need to drop out and let the conservative tide wash Romney out to sea. Otherwise, we risk getting a nominee who can’t even get 50% of the Republican vote in most states.
I was for Gingrich (reluctantly) until he bombed in Florida. Then Santorum came on hard with MO, NV and MN, and now tonight hes’ doing way better than Gingrich in every state but GA, Gingrich’s home state. I honestly don’t see how Gingrich can justify staying in this, when doing so is clearly helping Romney.
And I’d say the same about Santorum, if the tables were reversed.
I agree. We conservatives have to pick a man and knock out mitt for once and all. There are plenty of good causes for dog lover Romney to spend his billions on.
Ah....if only Santorum could win the general. But he won't. And we all know it.
Rick Santorum is the accidental candidate, and that means Obama is the winner.
But I don't want to rain on your parade tonight. Enjoy the wins!
The Kraut is for Romney.
He knows if Newt gets out Romney can spend his millions to out gun Rick with negative ads and insure his man gets the nomination....
The idea has to be to keep Romney from winning the nomination before the convention. If Romney goes to the convention without having the nomination he loses its as simple as that
The idea that if either one drops out the other simply gets all their votes is entirely fallacious.
First off, some of their voters simply would lose interest and not vote.
Second off, as hard as it may be to comprehend here, out there in the real world there are Santorum supporters that like Mitt more than Gingrich, and Gingrich supporters that like Mitt more than Santorum.
