So Newt should start campaigning with half his brain tied behind his back so he can compete with santorum?

For such a smart guy he sure gets a minimal amount of votes. Any theories on that?

At some point even the most ardent Newt supporters are going to have to come to terms with the fact that the nominee will either be Romney or Santorum. Whether that's sooner or later for you is up to you.
