The numbers tell the whole story. Santorum hasn’t harmed Gingrich but Gingrich does harm Santorum.

In florida, Gingrich lost by more than Santorum took. In Michigan, Santorum lost by 3 and Gingrich took twice that much. In Ohio, Santorum lost by 1 and Gingrich took double digits.

Romney could have been knocked up by now.

the two are less than 50 delegates apart.... why not have the bushes 4th term drop out, and let a fighter win it

With the organization and money that Romney has he wouldn’t have conceded any more than one of the other candidates. I voted Newt in Ohio yesterday and I would again - this needs to keep going with all - if it’s a convention call so be it. Let all the states have a say for a change.

“Romney could have been knocked up by now.”

Not if he put some free Govt aspirin between his knees.

This coming from the same people who had their Knickers in a bunch when Newt Gingrich suggested the same thing after SOuth Carolina.

Since you are so into numbers, read this;http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/republican_delegate_count.html

Romeny already holds over a third of the Delegates, and has more than both Santorum and Newt combined. If the remaining states do what they are slated to do, Romney will have the nomination sewed up by the end of April.

It is what it is. You can blame whomever, till your face turns purple, but that won't change reality for what it is.

The facts are, the entire Republican Primary, has become a joke. Santorum can't win, and neither can Newt. Even if Newt were to quit now, Santorum does not have the necessary preparation or organization, to qualify for the number of delegates he needs to win.

Newt placed 2nd in Florida! Newt has 105 secured delegates to Santorums 78 and that is current. Newt is only 2% behind Santorum in the popular vote.

There are many voters that want to vote for Newt in the upcoming elections...why should they be denied? besides, many Newt supporters do not like RS.

HANG TOUGH NEWT! IT AIN'T OVER TILL IT'S OVER!

“In florida, Gingrich lost by more than Santorum took.”

Your analysis is flawed. We don’t live in a static world. Rick not getting on the Romney smear train after South Carolina could have changed that race dramatically. Rick’s losses in Michigan and Ohio have little to do with Newt (who barely campaigned in either). They have more to do with Rick squandering leads with missteps, backtracing, poor debate performances, and not being able to get enough liberal Democrat union votes.
