Keep both Newt and Rick in the race and we have a fighting chance at the convention,

I’m not sure I can agree with this logic. The more Newt and Rick split the vote the less power either of them will have at the convention. If Newt were to drop out, AND all his votes were to go to Rick Santorum he still might not be able to win the nomination but he will go to the convention with a lot of power and decision making weight. That also might better deny Romney the opportunity to win outright.
Either way Romney will have a lot of weight at the convention, there are people who like him. Those people have a right to vote the way they want but we too have the right to vote our way. Putting all our chips on one candidate makes more sense to me. That way Rick gets a higher percentage of the vote and could become the front runner and take some of the spotlight and money from Romney. If you want to deny Romney that is the way to do it.
With Newt and Santorum both in it they both have to attack each other, not good. It makes it look like Romney is on the high ground. Romney is not an idiot, Idiots don’t make millions from scratch. We best not play him for the fool or it will be us wearing the fools hat.
Santorum won the straw poll by the Tea Party group in Huntsville a week or two ago. Newt was here Tuesday, I went, Santorum here today and I’m staying home.
