....Dean said Santorum is hanging on to the delegates for now to make sure conservative principles play an important role at the Republican National Convention in late August......

That would happen if Rick Santorum came out in support of Newt Gingrich.

Gingrich is still seeking the nomination and has his 13 Alabama delegates. Armistead said he hopes Gingrich won't become divisive because "there is no path to victory for him to get the nomination."

Mitt lies and smears his conservatives opponents in the primary - burying them with negative ads -- and the GOP-e is warning Newt.

“I’d much rather have Governor Romney as president than President Obama,” Skipper said.

Here we go again, hold your nose mentality. Is this thier strategy? Romney will continue the chess game while others may overturn the table and refuse to play. Looks like the the two parties are in bed with each other and enjoying the game. Either way they win and we lose

Armistead has a reputation of being conservative, but what am I not seeing here. Is it personal between he and Newt?

Alabama GOP Chair: If Gingrich Loses the South, He's ‘Out of the Ball Game’

Alabama Republican Party Chairman Bill Armistead said on Tuesday that out of all the GOP presidential candidates, Newt Gingrich has spent the most time campaigning in the state — and that he has the most at stake as voters head to the polls.

Gingrich needs Southern support the most, Armistead said, arguing that if the former House speaker doesn't do well in Alabama and Mississippi he will no longer be competitive.

“You would think he was running for governor here,” Armistead said on CNN’s Early Start, adding that if Gingrich loses both Southern states, “I believe he’s out of the ball game and then it will be a one-to-one between Santorum and Romney.”

I expect Newt to do what he said. It's one thing if Romney reaches 1,144, it a TOTALLY different ballgame if he doesn't!

Either way I think the majority of conservatives and the country are going to give Mitt and the GOPe the middle finger salute!

The Conservative Constitutional Cause is clearly served by an Obama re-election rather than a Romney win.

A Right leaning/Conservative Constitutional Congress can easily remain united behind an Obama re-election....whereas the same Congress will be sliced and diced by the RINOS if Romney is in the White House.

The Powers That Be fully understand this....

Amazing thing is that Rick/Romney bots trash Newt for “trying to be relevant” while he is in the trenches fighting for conservative values. I bet they see nothing wrong with Rick trying to stay ‘relevant” after making himself as irrelevant as one can be.

Summary of article:

A State Party Chair, who is a National Convention Superdelegate and a Federal Government Employee, a Congressional Staffer who is also a Republican National Convention Delegate, are trying to whip the normal delegates into voting for Romney nearly four months before the convention.

Makes you proud of the current state of the convention system of party decision-making.

This AL GOP-E bigwig shows you what Newt faced, even down south.

I’m willing to bet this guy was bought long ago.

Go figure. The delegates pledged to one RINO will bolt for the other RINO.

Wonder if all those conservatives in Alabama who voted for Santorum thinking he was a conservative feel betrayed yet?

"Gingrich is still seeking the nomination and has his 13 Alabama delegates. Armistead said he hopes Gingrich won't become divisive..."

Why is it that Newt is being accused of being "divisive" again? I don't see romney giving up the portion of 'the pie' he's carved out and 'divided' up for himself. In fact the way I see it romney's the punkass bullying chump that rushes the desert table and tries to hog all the desert for himself; "metaphorically" speaking of course.

This country is in trouble if romney's the Republican nominee.

“State Party Chairman Bill Armistead said it was obvious that Romney would win the nomination.”

Again, about the only benefit of this primary season is that the GOP-e has to reveal its existence, and be named in order to support their liberal. The enemy within is as dangerous as the enemy without...
