In a new national radio ad released Wednesday, Rick Santorum lambasted Newt Gingrich over the former House speaker's declining poll numbers and second place finish in Florida's primary.
"Despite spending millions, Newt Gingrich went from a big lead to a big defeat. Why? Because voters discovered Gingrich wasn't a true conservative," the narrator says in the ad.

Santorum is starting to get on my nerves.
That’s what it sounds like. I’ve always thought Santorum was hand in glove with Romney anyway. Santorum’s anti-Newt ads in Iowa were quite vicious, btw.
Is Santorum going to do romney’s dirty work for him now?
When Newt orchestrated the great republican revolution many gop candidates were swept into office...Santorum was ONE. Look, Santorum has been given a free pass by the media, by Romney by Newt by the establishment and he is still polling low. Makes me wonder why he is staying in? have a feeling he is playing up to Romney.
When you look on their stand on most issues, there’s really little difference between Romney and Gingrich although Newt is far worse on amnesty.
Mitt and his evil minions are leaving nothing to chance. I am believing more and more that Rick is Mitt's insurance against a Conservative win.
Rick has a pathetic stage presence. Rick has ZERO charisma.
Rick is utterly delusional if he thinks he will ever win the nomination.
Obviously Rick Santorum does not agree with you.
Pack it up Rick and take your dweeb sweater with you.
Looks like that money from Malkin and Rush is coming in handy for Saint Rick.
Pray for America
If Newt can’t take the heat from Republicans running against him, he sure won’t make it against the Dems.
Gut up or get out.
Only if you ignore two facts (among many others):
1. Gingrich truly believes in the principles of liberty in our Constitution
2. Romney was very likely influenced by his father’s admiration for Saul Alinsky.
Why is Rick zeroing in on Newt? If he is really interested in the Presidency should he not be going after the front runner with being Mitt? Should we be questioning where Rick got his new found cash from? This whole thing does not pass the smell test. Sounds like we are being “played”.
Lauren, J, there’s you boi.
Rick knows he cannot win. He also knows that Romney will need a Sarah Palin on the ticket with him in order to get the conservative vote. Rick's sacrificing a possible conservative Presidency for a liberal Presidency with him as the VP.
Rick Santorum is NO Sarah Palin.
I think starting tomorrow Trump will be the guy barking back at Santorum and Romney.
Newt-Nuts are as big a whiners as their hero.
Santorum the spoiler! We are done with you...go away!
Romney is the man that Santorum wanted for President in 2008, this year he is running to block Newt.
I don’t see anything surprising, Santorum has no future in elective politics and seems to be earning an appointment job from Romney, or the GOP establishment.
At this point, this is the only explanation that rings true. Don Quixote Santorum needs to find other windmills to joust with.
