If Newt Gingrich withdraws from the race, there will be a chance for the conservative frontrunner Santorum to do well in many of the other states along with way in a neck and neck race with Romney. But I doubt that will happen at this point; egos and kamikaze missions just out of spite or "payback" or whatever, power trips, are not easy to mitigate. Accordingly, there is a better than even chance that this goes to Romney, who has been declared an enemy of Free Republic from years back, most specifically nearly a year ago on here, since this is an independent CONSERVATIVE FORUM. This is not a forum for RINOs or moderate libs.

This once every four year rigged template (the conservative vote split and the media and GOP officialdom pushing one of their moderate shills to be nominated who later goes on to a spectactular defeat by the Democrat by incompetence or outright throwing the elction) is a worn out template, so predictable in both its essence and application, is something I will never countenance. To be an idiot and played like a fiddle, marginialized at the convention but used as a bloc (conservative), but given only a few insignificant federal agencies as a reward, is a game I am "hep" too, and will nill not participate. To do the same thing over and over and over again and expect different outcomes is the classic definition of insanity.
