Ping!
Any Santorum would win if Gingrich had made a graceful exit.
Basically Gingrich is a non factor in AZ and MI. He has abandoned both. Santorum is well positioned to win both, especially Michigan, which is an open primary.

So Romney has a whopping 39 point lead over Gingrich among women and 21 points over Santorum.
Anyone knows Romney’s female appeal?
God save our country.
** President Newt Gingrich-”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”
God Bless Santorum and his incredible family. Through prayer anything can be done and this is becoming evident to all. We will FINALLY have a President with morals, character and 100 percent of the right issues! This is just so exciting. Santorum mojo is not dwindling like some had hope......I laugh at them. Romney will NOT be our nominee.....let the crying begin. :-) This primary could NOT have gone any better!!!!
The women aren’t buying it.
And Newt would win - had Repubs actually wanted to win Presidency instead of shooting themselves in both feet. (And being second tier puppets of RNC and the Demrats themselves.)
Arizona cacti are the perfect height.

“Arizona cacti are the perfect height.”
For Mittens to land on...that’s what I am thinking. A double whammy that will effectively eliminate Willard.
My woman does... and the women I know do.

Santorum does not come across as likeable and he is at best an inconsistent debater. Two weaknesses Obama does not have (at least to John Q. Public). He failed under pressure at the last debate. He would also be heavily overshadowed by any qualified VP candidate. Imagine him and Rubiio. Who would everyone be paying attention to? We’re in deep trouble if he’s the nominee.
Arizona has way too many Mormons for Romney to lose there. I don’t know what Santorum was thinking, appearing at a debate in Mesa, with the high percentage of Mormons in that town.
My husband and I will be proudly casting our vote on Tuesday here in Arizona for Newt Gingrich, as he is the best hope for our country at this time.

Thanks for the ping. Looks like Santorum might be recovering from his poor debate performance.
“My husband and I will be proudly [w]asting our vote on Tuesday here in Arizona for Newt Gingrich, as he is the best hope for our country at this time.”
There. Fixed it.
Remember the Florida debate?
