If you’re asking me what Newt’s rationale might be, I suspect he intends to be President.

How is he intending to accomplish that? Run as a third-party candidate?

He just finished below Ron Paul.

Newt won’t run as third party.

But if it takes Newt, Paul and to a greater degree Santorum to peel delegates away from Mitt, why should anybody get out?

Newt didn’t hurt Rick in Ill. or any other state. Mitt did.

Rule 40 only applies to the first round of voting. If no delegate is elected at the convention on the first round then all delegates are released and can vote for whoever they want.
