Sorry but outside of GA it looks like Newt didn’t get a whole lot more support other than Freepers. If Newt is really interested in stopping Romney he’ll announce an end to his campaign, today and then endorse Santorum and ask his supporters to get behind him. Anything else and we’re guaranteed a Romney nomination!

Guess what? santorum got about the same number of delegates as Gingrich!
and Newt is looking at a BIG gain next week! So maybe little Ricky should drop out?

It’s “Super Tuesday,” only Romney and Gingrich can emerge to challenge Obama

[announce an end to his campaign, today and then endorse Santorum]

You have a problem with that theory. If what you say were true, then Ron Paul would have easily won VA, since all of the Santorum and Newt voters were free to stop Romney. But Romney won over 70% of the vote.

In fact, there are surveys out there that indicate that if either Newt or Santorum drop out, most of those votes would go to Romney. Romney is viewed as the best choice to fix the economy, as well as a good family man, successful ex Governor, Business man, etc,,,,.

A good share of both Newt and Santorum’s supporters are moderate, apolitical types, who have no clue what goes on the heads of dedicated Conservatives like ourselves.

I have to agree with what the surveys I mentioned, point out. You would be disappointed with the result if Newt were to drop out immediately. Romney would still win anyway, and by an even bigger margin.

Our best hope now, is a brokered convention, or a party so broken, that a third party with Newt and Sarah Palin at the helm will work overwhelmingly.
