But Rick sure did give the dastardly Mittens a run for his money by winning 11 states...with very little funding and good ol’ grassroots volunteers!

Newt was beating Mitt in the polls by a good margin back in late December and early January.

Rick's support wasn't all grass roots. In my opinion he also had the support of the media and the RINOs early on, to take down Newt and to deliver Mitt a win.

And that's what happened.

And the eleven states Santorum won were in my opinion the only states he ever had a chance to win.

That’s not true. Rick almost won Michigan and WI. The latter was tipped at the last minute by the Ryan and Johnson endorsements from a desperate GOP-E who knew Rick had a good chance of winning my home state.

Newt won one state so far. He only surged after taking on the CNN reporter at the debate and that was short lived.

Rick has never had Rino support..or the media. He accomplished what he did with grassroots conservative activism.
