So you blame Santorum for siphoning votes from Romney? You think that is a bad thing, so you think Santorum should drop out so all his supporters switch to Romney?
What is your complaint?
BTW, in Florida, when asked for 2nd choices, 50% of Santorum supporters polled said they’d vote for Romney; 63% of the Gingrich supporters pollsed said they’d vote for Romney.
In both Missouri and Ohio, polls showed that if Gingrich dropped out, Santorum would beat Romney easily — by 13% in Missouri, and by 8% in Ohio.
But if Santorum dropped out, Gingrich was only 1% ahead of Romney in Missouri, and only 3% ahead in Ohio. In other words, Santorum did better head-to-head against Romney than Gingrich did.
A lot of Freepers started supporting Gingrich for three reasons — he was polling first, he could beat Romney, and he could debate Obama.
Now he’s not polling so well, he came nowhere near beating Romney with Santorum out of the state, and he has publicly stated that he can’t win debates if the other candidate doesn’t tell the truth, and he will refuse to debate Obama if the debates have reporters for moderators — which all debates will.
So if Gingrich can’t beat Obama in a debate (because Obama won’t tell the truth), and if Gingrich refuses to debate Obama because the official organiation running the debates will use journalists for moderators, and if Gingrich can’t beat Romney in head-to-head matchups, why are Santorum supporters supposed to drop Santorum and switch to Romney?
Wow, our most famous Romneybot showed up.
Surprise, surprise, to help Santorum against Newt Gingrich.
