He is a historian and he wants to become a part of history, even if it cant be via a presidential term.
Bingo.
But we still could get Romney. In fact, we will get Romney unless he drops out, it’s almost certain, because of the winner take all states. Romney either gets his delegates or is only a mite shy at convention.
The way to give Santorum the best chance at winning is for Gingrich to drop out now.
Gingrich is hurting us because it might help himself. This is the kind of decision making he is known for, and why I didn’t support him for president. Just like no one did on FR when he announced.
You are assuming Santorum gets a majority of Newt’s votes. A lot of people don’t support Santorum because they are uneasy with the religious right, but they might support Newt because he is a little more populist on social issues. It might be closer than you think.
