Newt did enough damage by depriving Santorum of a win in the key state of MI where Romney won by 3% over Santorum and Gingrich siphoned off 7% of the vote. And we know from exit polling data by PPP (the poll you guys like to cite, like the one that appeared several times which showed Newt leading the pack in AL and MS) showed that 57% of Gingrich votes would go to Santorum if he withdrew. And then of course don’t forget the crucial battleground state of OH where despite a thunderstorm of negative ads by Romney and being outspent by over 6 to 1. Romney squeaked by less than 1% over Santorum with Gingrich pulling in 13% of the vote. Now you folks would like to sit back and relish the notion of a Santorum defeat in IL and use negative WaPO article to hammer Santorum. Sure, Santorum doesn’t want the type of Goldman Sachs financiers to run the nation. Look what they have already done.
Now, about your running out of material....
Hammering Newt is just no longer cover for your candidate’s self-implosion.
I see you are down to now whining about the past already, having to accuse Newt of siphoning off MI.
Trust me, it’s going to get worse for ya’.
Got Newt now?
Why is it that whenever you mention Michigan or Ohio you fail to mention that Rick had big leads in both and collapsed?
So just what do you think would have happened if Rick would have left the race back when he ‘should have’, after South Carolina. What would be the state of the race today. I know, you don’t know and I don’t either. And you sure don’t know what would have happened in those states either. This is silly. Newt leaves, and Mitt wins. Of course it is my opinion.
You are a great advocate for Senator Santorum. I have often seen your posts stating that if Newt had just told his voters to support Santorum in (fill-in-the-blank) state, Santorum would have won.
May I offer you a different opinion? This is the PRIMARY. I’ll bet a lot of primary voters have their favorites. Once that favorite drops out, many voters will say, “Oh, what the heck” and not bother voting IN THE PRIMARY. This does not mean they will sit at home in November. I am a big Newt supporter. When my state primary comes around, if Newt isn’t in it, I’m not sure what I’ll do. And I’ll bet you anything there’s lots of Perry, Cain and Bachmann supporters that didn’t bother voting in Michigan or Ohio. Why aren’t you scolding them?
