Except that most polls show if Santorum got out, his votes would split 50/50 for Newt/Romney. Most of the pollsters have asked the Mitt/Newt head to head, and the spread is the same with all 4, or just the 2.

It’s widely held misconception, not based on factual information. The public is much better informed now than they were 50 years ago. That is why most endorsements don’t mean much anymore. In the past, people would say if Candidate X is supported by Y, then they are good enough for me. Doesn’t work much anymore. The reason the candidates seek endorsements is not so much to influence voters. But it is to gain resources from who endorsed them and also helps with their fundraising. But the endorsements themselves change very few minds with voters.

I disagree with the polls on that...doubt many Santorum voters would ever go for the socialist pro choice candidate

You’re always so cheerful..thanks for the tip.

Hope you’re support of a liar like Romney is very fulfilling for you.

I think your wrong. 2/1 newt sounds more like it...from the polls I’ve seen. It would help Newt a lot.
