It’s “Super Tuesday,” only Romney and Gingrich can emerge to challenge Obama
If either Rick or Newt, throw support to one or the other, watch how quickly O-Undocumented is “finally” found to be in office illegally, or forced out of office.
The Santorum camp doesn’t want a conservative solution to the economic problem.
rather have Santorum than Romney...and Santorum is whupin’ Newt..
Newt needs to leave...
if he does not we get Romney and ergo we get zer0bama back for 4 more years....
That’s ridiculous. The assumption is that they would then vote for Santorum? No way.
I don’t think Santorum’s any better than Romney, frankly, and would be an equally weak or weaker candidate against Obama. He’s not conservative in anything except his social positions (where he will have no appeal outside of the small group of social conservatives), he’s a big government, GOP-E person, and frankly I think he’s dishonest and unlikeable.
I think the stunt where he lied about his residence to “home school” his kids and then let the state of PA pay the $50,000 fine for him his typical of his morality. He thinks he’s special, and he feels the government should support his specialness.
Santorum should have taken one for the team and dropped out. Newt would have crushed Romney with his 37%.
“Rick Santorum’s campaign is calling on conservatives to pressure Newt Gingrich to abandon his bid for the White House, a senior adviser told reporters tonight.”
It says it all right there. He wants to know why a REAL conservative would stay in the race.
He ought to join with Newt and ask Mittens to get lost.
Can’t go with it.
MSNBC once again creates a narrative that isn’t held up by reading the article.
Nobody called on Newt to drop out. LOL

Maybe Santorum is smart enough to know this, and maybe this is what he is working toward. Santorum's voters are not smart enough to even fathom this electoral game; and that's why Santorum is tailoring his message for this bloc of voters. Same as Huckabee in 2008.
Newt gave him a chance to take Michigan, and he blew it, perhaps deliberately.
Santorum had a chance to take Ohio, and he blew it, perhaps deliberately.
Maybe Santorum knew the game being planned in Virginia, and didn't bother to get on that ballot.
As it stands now, Newt is looking like the only sincere non-Romney candidate.
Here’s what I posted elsewhere. Maybe somebody could suggest this to both the Santorum and Gingrich camps:
I’d feel a heckuva lot better voting for either Gingrich or Santorum rather than Mitt though. Mitt was the FIRST one to force religious institutions to commit what they believe to be murder. There’s no way I can support somebody who does that. And no way I can support the R establishment after the shenanigans they’ve done.
Gingrich and Santorum are both Catholics. How about they let God decide? How about they draw straws to see which will be the Pres and which will be the VP, and then go with whatever the Lord says? In the Old Testament times God’s people listened to the LORD by using the urim and thummin. Scripture says the LORD determines the cast of every die. If these guys are really trusting in the LORD they will be glad to take His answer and serve in whatever way HE ALONE says.
Somebody has to do something now. I haven’t followed every nook and cranny of the race but I don’t think those 2 guys have burned any bridges with each other, and if they united in this way I think it would mean a lot to both camps and would say that they are SERIOUSLY serving the Lord and this country rather than their own ego.
I say let the LORD decide which is top on the ticket, and let them both make it clear what they did to resolve the issue. Before either one burns brdges that we need intact.
It’s Santorum who should do the dropping out.
FURS!
Gingrich will stick it out until his PAC man stops footing the bill if he doesn't begin to win more States. Since both are determined to stay in, it insures that Romney will be our nominee but not as quickly as he would have liked.
I say the man who lacks money and organization should bow out now but I doubt his pride will allow that.
By the 17th, if Newt Gingrich is not out of the race, Romney is the nominee. Newt will siphon off enough delegates that neither he nor Santorum will ever catch Romney.
It’s going to be hard enough, even if Newt does drop out.
The real problem for Newt, is that the rest of the states are not his home state. He doesn’t have a prayer.
Watching him try to turn a home state win into a game changer, was rather sad really. He knows it. His supporters can’t admit it. To everyone else, it’s plain as day. I’m sorry folks, it’s over. Newt didn’t pull it off. Risking Romney getting the nomination is pure ego driven all the way.
If Romney goes into the convention 100 votes shy of the nomination, Santorum has 500 delegates and Newt has 350, who are the delegates going to nominate? Newt?
This has reached the realm of flights of fantasy. Newt is done. The only question at this point, is Santorum done too? Only Newt can tell us.
Most if not all the rest of the states are proportional with regard to the delegate disbursement. No matter who is going up against Romney, they’ll have a very hard time catching him a few delegates at a time.
Newt drops out now and maybe. He doesn’t, Romney wins.
Thems the hard cold facts.
I’m thinking Romney needs to drop out, as 1/2 the Republicans won’t EVER vote for him.
He got about half of that right i.e. somebody needs to drop out at this point, but it’s Santorum who needs to drop out. Newt or Romney either one could win in November, I don’t see a way Santorum could.
I think that at this point I’m going to have to withdraw my tepid acceptance of Santorum as a possible candidate. I’m sick of this.
