It just baffles me how two people can look at the same information, and come away with two diametrically opposed views.
Newt has now won his past home state and a neighbor state.
Santorum has won a number of states, and has nearly 50% more delegates.
Santorum just won three of ten states, none of which were his home state.
Newt just won one of ten states, that WAS his old home state.
How does this translate to Newt actually being in a better position going down the road? What has he won recently that wasn’t his home state?
All this spin is going to accomplish, is Newt’s supporters viewing him in an unrealistic light, and keeping him in just long enough to ensure Romney the nomination.
Newt IS NOT playing the role of a statesman here. He is now playing the role of an egotistical spoiler that will sell out Conservatism in the end.
Nobody but Romney will win, if Newt persists. It is crystal clear he has failed. I can’t change that. You can’t change that. Only the voters can change that, and Newt isn’t winning them over.
Super Tuesday is over. The voters have had their say.
Newt..., please come to your senses.
If it means a brokered convention, so be it.
I’d rather have romney ANY DAY over Father Rick. So, if Newt does drop out, I’m in Mitts camp.
I think a lot of people feel the same. So, how does Newt’s dropping out help Rick?
Newt is the only candidate that can successfully take on the MSM and BO.
Heaven help us if Santorum is the nominee, as he will turn into the human pretzel when responding to the MSM onslaughts.

Quinn: “If you want to know what the democrats are up to, look at what they are accusing the Republicans of.”
Did you look over the chart I linked to as the basis for this thread? Or are you just using the MSM “count?”
Look, pledged delegates do the nominating. Not the unpledged. It is the arithmetic now, and Newt’s got the arithmetic margin lead in pledged delegates against Romney.
Read em and weep. Santorum simply won the wrong states. He won states with fewer delegates in the first place. He won caucus states and not primary states in the second place. Until last night he had not won a single primary state.
He is stuck with UNPLEDGED delegates. Horse race continues.
Got to give Mitt credit for at least one thing. He showed what winning your home state SHOULD look like with his 72% win in MA. I guess that means MA, not MI, is really his home state, the state that best reflects for what he stands. Although he may not want to admit it outside of Red Sox nation. By comparison Newt’s 47% plurality in GA. ‘Southerners’ couldn’t garner a majority in the deep South?! Nope, not unless you counted Paul as one and add in his votes.
