Gingrich must endorse Santorum
http://www.freerepublic.com ^ | 6 March 2012 | impimp

I have advocated Gingrich staying in until sometime in March. I felt the vote splitting would help prevent Romney from locking up a sufficient number of bound delegates to take the nomination. The plan did a good job so far, but not a great job.

I think now the mathematics is shifting such that Gingrich needs to bow out. The reasons for the shift are:

1. winner-take-alls coming up soon - vote splitting begins to really hurt us in these primaries 2. we need money consolidating behind Santorum. 3. Santorum made the Indiana ballot after all

But now Gingrich needs to bow out.

Santorum needs to bow out now and back Newt. :)

Bow out, my foot.

Rick can help himself. He has been the spoiler for months.
We are getting Romney, accept it. Even, Mitt has the most delegates to date.

No, because I don’t want Santorum as the candidate. He still looks whiney to me, and gets caught up in social issues.

Dang, guess you got your answer......Santorum cannot win against Obama. If the choice is Newt or Santo, Santo loses.

Romney versus Romney lite? No thanks.

Santorum and Romney were partners last time around.

Just as Santorum and Specter were partners in 1996 when Specter ran on removing the pro-life movement from the Republican Party.

Perhaps you’d also advocate we just gift wrap the nomination for Romney? Because it’s pretty much the same thing. If Romney’s got just one competitor, then he can focus all his money on smashing that competitor. Instead, he’s got the worst case of WhackAMole ever - hammer Gingrich, Santorium pops up. Hammer Santorium, Gingrich bounces back up.

I got a better idea. How about Romney bows out? Then it can be about conservatives.

Every conservative better pray that we can get Newt to convention. I think Mitt nor Rick can stop Obama.

Gosh, people forgive Romney for Romneycare, but, are unrelenting over things done by other candidates. Double standard reigns even in Freeperland.

Compared to Gingrich, Santorum is minor league. Why would you want to settle for minor league???

Do you know what the delecate count is for each candidate so far? I would like to know what the totals are. The one with the least would be interesting to know, because if one is asked to bow out, I would think the person with the least number of delegates would be asked first.

Sorry, I support Gingrich and desire neither Romney or Santorum.

It is better to have Obama back in office and getting nothing done or screwing it up so badly that it’s obviously has to be undone next admin, then to have Romney in their advancing the same liberal agenda but under the guise of a conservative.

No way in hell.

I don’t care if this has to go to convention.

Santorum is the wrong man for the job and he could never win against Obama.
