But the difference is that outside Iowa Gingrich polls significantly higher in almost every other state.

For now. That can and has changed.

Just think what kind of shape we would be in if both Newt and Rick had dropped out back when their poll numbers were down. We would be stuck with a choice between Ron Paul and Mitt.

Having all your eggs in one basket can be hazardous.

That is true to the extent of early in the process. But we aren’t that early anymore. Yes numbers change. But in this particular election, Romney polls pretty consistantly at 25ish percent. Newt and rick have split the vote between conservatives. Paul is a separate deal altogether combining CINOS and liberaltarians.

So the reality is that if both retain their full current support, Romney gets the nod. So that brings us back to my previous post. The numbers all along show NG outpolling RS across America with those couple mentioned exceptions.

Unless one group or the other abandons ship, we’re going to crash and burn. So again, is it logical to go with the man getting a higher poll average/support, ot the man with the lower?

At some point we have to decide. That point is upon us now.

I was a hardcore Palin guy who had to admit when it was over. The Santorum people must do the same. It’s not fun, but it is reality.
