Mitt would beat Rick, but Obama would beat Rick even more. That is our problem. Many of our fellow conservatives are linking themselves to a candidate that can not win.
Go Newt.
Polls indicate Romney vs. Santorum very close, while Obama vs. Santorum is a tie.
Given the winner take all format which takes effect after April 1, I'm still having problems grasping how a split conservative vote hurts Romney. Does anyone actually believe that a majority of Gingrich supporters would support Romney over Santorum?
The only way I see this strategy working is if Gingrich could win a few states? If so, which ones?
RCP Obama vs Gingrich - Obama +13.7%
RCP Obama vs Santorum - Obama +8.7%
So, since Santorum will be beaten by Obama, we should pick Gingrich?
