If the polls show Gingrich close to Romney near election day, I think the supporters of Perry and Santorum should consider ensuring that Romney loses by redirecting their support to Gingrich. Just do it in SC, to make the point that Romney’s not “inevitable,” but rather that there’s a solid conservative core that wants a different candidate.
Then, following SC, particularly if Perry drops out, and with Romney taken down several pegs, possibly Santorum and Gingrich would each have a chance in Florida.
My main problem with this is that of the three (Gingrich, Santorum, Perry), Gingrich is the one I like the least, but whatever it takes....
Gingrich is very very clever, the others just look good in suits.
