Be careful what you wish for.
Remember that if Newt drops out, EVERY one of his delegates becomes a free agent, free to vote for whomever they want.
The GOP-E and Team Romney will be at the door of every single one of those delegates, promising them influence, jobs, positions, and future support. They will have bottomless wallets, and all of the party machinery to back-up those promises.
In other words, do you really want to wake-up after the IL Primary and see Romney with over 750 committed delegates?
Rick Santorum has said it himself: the key is a brokered convention; neither he nor Newt can get to 1144.
Chicago would NEVER vote for a true conservative. Rino #1 in first; rino #2 in second. Your are talking Obamaland
