Newt’s voters aren’t going to go to Santorum, who is exactly like Romney but more vocally a social conservative. Romney and Santorum are both Establishment guys, that is, absolutely fine with things the way they are and differing from Obama only in a few touches. Like Obama, they are both looking to transform the US into the ultimate socialist nanny-welfare state, with the only difference being that it will have their (Mormon or Evangelical-Catholic) slogans at the top.
The only candidate who is offering any ideas for change is Gingrich, and he should stay in until the very end.
Sadly, though, I think the voters are saying they actually like Obama’s Socialist Republic of the United States of America and they just want a different face on it. So it depends on whether they want the dollar-stuffed Mormon vulture capitalist and failed governor of the most leftist state in the US, or the self-serving Preacher Man who as a Senator endorsed the most radical pro-abortion leftist in the Senate (who eventually got honest and became a Dem) and who was voted out by an astounding number of his own constituents.
You're not getting it. I am a Newt supporter, not a Romney or Santorum supporter. If Newt stays in the race, Romney wins in June. The ONLY chance to throw it to the convention is for either Newt or Rick to get out. There's no other way they can deny Romney enough delegates except by one of them increasing their margin of victory to trigger winner-take-all and threshold rules. Then when it's at the convention, Newt will have his big chance. You don't need to lecture me about Newt's qualifications. I've donated to him and support him. That's why I don't want him to keep splitting the anti-Romney vote and therefore hand Romney the nomination in June.
