IN, not important.
ND, not important.
DC, are you joking?
VA, yes this matters but Newt’s not getting any delegates there either. In fact, it’s possible that all the Gingrich and Santorum supporters in VA could vote for Ron Paul just to deny Romney the delegates.
OH, that still means there is 80% he can compete in.

The GOOD NEWS is that very few delegates have been decided yet and nothing is impossible with God. The ONLY way Santorum gets the nomination is if God wills it but if God wills it, nothing is impossible. We shall see whether HE chooses to step in and rescue this country from communism. That’s why we should all pray.

I am not the “left” and your accusing those that support Rick of being so won't win you any converts to Newt. The article everyone is discussing here is a poll of Republicans, not the media or the “left”. I also think it is wishful thinking if you believe Newt's strategy is rope-a=dope. If anyone was smart enough to do that, it was Rick.

Time will tell if Rick is the flavor of the month. True there are Newt supporters that want a brokered convention, but realistically, Newt would never emerge from that as the choice. Rick does have momentum and is generating excitement as evidenced by the large turnout at his events. I think he can win all the way. Time will tell.

[FresnoRobert]

Newt wasn’t in office either, yet he was on the wrong side of the issue.

"LEAVE - RICK - ALONE!"

[Rudder]

Santorum is now sufficiently conservative, but his conveyance is lacking the necessary essence of one who would wipe the floor with Obama.

Why is he called Eddie Haskell and a whiner? Because it's appropriate.

[little jeremiah]

My my, aren’t you clever. You know how to post graphics!

I wouldn’t object if you posted objections to Santorum’s voting record or other relevant issues, but no, you sling poo pretending that you are not using dishonest slime tactics.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Actually, Newt was not on the “wrong side” of the issue per se in that he said the preferable course of action would be to suspend Sarbanes Oxley and mark to market accounting required by Sarbanes. He was 100% correct on that.

Do you have any idea what I just said? Do you have any idea of what that meant? Or are you just going down a nooby voter guide with check boxes and no context.

In today’s time, she would have been arrested as child molester

[FresnoRobert]

Actually, Newt did support TARP and Rick wants to do away with Sarbanes Oxley. I guess you believe everyone but you is a fool or noob. HERE IS SOME FREE ADVIVE. IF YOU CAN’T COMMENT WITHOUT THROWING ARROUND INSULTS, YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO CONVINCE ANYONE OF ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT TYPE OF A PERSON YOU ARE.

[C. Edmund Wright]

You have put forth a very incomplete and therefore somewhat inelegant and almost sophomoric description of the two candidates positions on the issue.

[Timber Rattler]

You Rick'sters have really screwed it up for all of us.

[conservativepoet]

My main goal is to stop Romney, and Santorum appears to be the only one that can do that.

Yep, that’s my take.

[FresnoRobert]

Edmund, You should have run for President. You are so smart. My reply was as or more relevant than yours. You seem to have a mastery of sophistry. Your reasoning ignores fact. You are caught up in your juvenile and inferior thinking and obviously can't reason your way out of a paper bag.

See... I can argue like you. It's really easy to insult people.

[hoosiermama]

Yes, and the second wife would be doing time for selling influence instead of the plea bargain and “help” Newt made sure she had.

My son, who has worked with addicts for years, said when he saw number two, “Don’t know what she’s on but she’s using” Something he saw in the eyes and speach.

[Yaelle]

I am VERY sick of the Newt people calling Santorum names. Come on. If you really want a charismatic photogenic phony, you’ve got two: Obama, and Mitt. COME ON NOW.

[altura]

I hope Newt listens to you with the same attention that Santorum listened to you.

It’s way too early for that to happen. Santorum needs to show me sumpin’ more before I jump on that bandwagon.

I think Newt might still pull it out.

Here is some information to chew on. From the poll.

Santorum is now completely dominating with several key segments of the electorate, especially the most right leaning parts of the party. With those describing themselves as ‘very conservative,’ he’s now winning a majority of voters at 53% to 20% for Gingrich and 15% for Romney. Santorum gets a majority with Tea Party voters as well at 51% to 24% for Gingrich and 12% for Romney. And with Evangelicals he falls just short of a majority with 45% to 21% for Gingrich and 18% for Romney.
