And doesn’t “winner take all” states help Newt? Go Newt!
It’s tough to tell right now until we see new polling with Santorum taken out of the running. There really aren’t that many winner-take-all states coming up. Only 2 that are winner-take-all, Delaware and Utah. But, trust me, as long as people don’t buy into Romney being inevitable this change could really shake up the race. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was coordinated between Rick and Newt as a strategy to take down Romney. It is reminiscent of when Rick bowed out of Florida to give Newt a one-on-one chance there. Problem is they really needed to do this at least before Illinois to tip the scales of likelihood in their favor. But there is a better chance of defeating Romney now than there was yesterday when 2 conservatives were splitting the vote.
