A RINO like Romney is going to need a conservative on the ticket like McCain/Palin and Rick has already shown how he beats even the mighty Newt Gingrich when it comes to drawing conservative votes (that may be why Newt is staying in the race which helps Mitt—payback), heck, a dang Yankee like him winning all those Southern states was nothing less than amazing!.
I'm still hoping Rick gets the nomination but if Mitt gets it and Santorum can help him stop the Marxist—we gotta think about the country.

Polling shows Santorum will never get more than 57% of Newt voters. If Romney gets 4 or 5 of 10 Newt voters, it accelerates him to victory. In some cases that extra bump for Romney would put him over 50% potentially letting him capture an entire state delegation. Santorum can only be helped by Newt's exit if he can get within 2% of Romney right now with all candidates in and can pull 6 of 10 Newt supporters over. The math doesn't work otherwise.
It is false and malicious to suggest Newt staying in helps Romney.
