I honestly believe that if Newt dropped out right now and endorsed Santorum, Santorum would do better against Romney in the rest of the primaries than vice-versa.

Maybe, but Newt has the plans. Santurum just has “Marsha Marsha Marsha” bradybunch complex.

Well you're certainly entitled to believe what you wish, however as nice a guy as Santorum is (and I was on board with him after Iowa for a while), he was aptly described by a FReeper today (whose name I cannot recall) as being a ".22 caliber candidate in a room full of .50 caliber opponents" and that is sadly the truth.
I certainly could live with a 'President Santorum', however that train hasn't left the station, in fact it isn't even going to arrive.
Sorry.

The second choice of the majority of Santorum voters was Romney, not Newt. Santorum and Romney are hand in glove, and Santorum wants to be Romney’s VP.
If Santorum had dropped out, it might have made people think, because they probably would not have gone directly to Romney even if they had said they would when asked. The home-schooling moms and Evangelicals and old ladies voting for altar boy of the month who were the major Santorum voting block would probably have had to look at policies and not drool over his squeaky clean, smarmy Eddie Haskellness.
What’s coming up is a Romney/Santorum ticket.
And I’m not voting for it.
