Rick Santorum needs about 60 percent of the remaining delegates to claim the Republican nomination. It would be an easier task, he admits, if former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich would drop out, but Santorum would not call explicitly for him to do so.
“The Speaker can stay as long as he wants,” Santorum said on NBC’s Meet the Press this morning. Instead, a Super PAC supporting Santorum has run ads calling for Gingrich to drop out of the race. (snip for excerpt purp.)
“We’re in a great position now as we go forward,” he said.
Of course, there would be an easy way for Santorum to really make up ground: “I’d like everybody to get out,” he said.

Thanks, just like Newt.......”Strength and Honor!”
[ Gingrich should have dropped out after Santorum’s Trifecta wins and before the MI primary. Had he done so, Romney would have lost MI and he would have been toast. Gingrich is now on an ego trip. ]
If Santo or Willard win the primary Zero wins the election..
If Newt wins the primary the massive brain wash begins..
If Santo, Willard or Obama wins then the Unions win and OWN America.. course they would prefer Zero..
Newt would fight against Obamas BILLION dollars and every single dollar the Unions can pluck from their members..
PLUS every bit of FREE advertising Nbs, Cbs, Abs, and Pbs and cable can bring to bear..
PLUS most Newspapers Mags, and many internet blogs..
PLUS much as much propaganda academia can generate..
PLUS there must be movies Hollywood has waiting...
Cause they KNOW NEWT is a force to reckoned with, a very very dangerous man..
Santo and Willard are just “the Beav” and “Eddie Haskell”.., mosquitoes..
I have no polls or macro data to support it, but I can say every Newt supporter I know...a couple of dozen...would puke, then pull the lever for Romney over Santorum.
They will not vote for the Church Lady.
I am sure that differs by region and state.
Just remember, Santorum ALREADY has those who vote "values first". He has them all.
Values first voters are not Gingrich supporters. Generally they are "values too" voters.
Sounds just like Obama...
Of course, everything he says sounds like Obama (with his polarity switched, from D to R).
But the way you post it is hard to tell who you are helping—it sure ain't Santorum and even you know Newt ain't got a chance so that leaves...
It's a shame the way this race is ending up. And there is little either of us can do about it.
I predict that Romney will pick Santo as his VP candidate.
And according to the polls, that combination has a moderate possibility of winning. But we also know the degree the MSM will take to change that.
This is a continuation of the norm for many (not all) Santorum supporters. If you attack Santorum or ANY of his positions, you, as a Freeper in good standing will be personally attacked by them. It's been going on for more than a month now. I don't know if it's coordinated or if it's just indicative of the type of support Santorum attracts.
Good point bringing up Robertson.
And none of them have ever heard of Free Republic and what I pointed out, is unanimous among them.
“Little Ricky Santorum will be DESTROYED by the Mittens “Schorched-Earth TV Ad Campaign” that will take place in Pennslyvannia ...”
If Gingrich does withdraw, that will not be necessary.
Yep.
To many supposed ‘conservatives’ have no problem with liberal methods... it just that liberals have the wrong ‘message’.
Combine the ‘right’ message with liberal methods and our ‘conservatives’ are happy as clams.
Those ‘conservatives’ are nothing more than anti-Liberals. IE: liberals with their polarity switch reversed.
Psychosis? Really?
Do you have evidence that he has a psychosis?
Or are you just smearing your fellow Freeper?
No brains, no guts, no vision.A good summary of Santorum.
I just listened to Senator Santorum’s interview on MTP. Not to be rude, but-—
Why in the world would anybody vote for this guy? He actually said he needs his wife as a “governor” for when he goes overboard and calls the President a snob or says JFK’s speech makes him want to vomit. I challenge voters that, instead of watching the Senator, try just listening to him. As he gets more and more worked up his voice gets higher and higher and he talks faster and faster. No wonder his wife has to help “walk him back” so often. Tell me, will his wife be there during Cabinet meetings or high level talks with foreign leaders?
I can make it simpler than that:
There are some conservatives out there who honestly believe that a pro-life voting record is enough to make someone a conservative.
In reality, pro-life is necessary but not sufficient. (In the lingo of mathematics.)
Too many conservatives (they are a minority, but a large minority) just don’t get that.
They thought Robertson was a conservative. They thought Huckabee was a conservative. And now they think Santorum is a conservative.
I agree, then Romney will likely sweep the remaining states. And 3 of which Santorum failed to fully get on the ballot in. Having Newt stay in, is our best chance to save this in a Brokered Convention.
Whole lot of thinkin' goin' on there.
Reminds me of having the back wheels on the grass, and a brick on the gas pedal.
Santorum: statist with conservative morals
Newt: individualist with conservative morals
Romney: statist with liberal morals
Paul: individualist with liberal morals
And you want to choose the statist?!? Why on G-d’s green earth would any Conservative, when seeing the choices, choose a statist?
We fought a revolution over that, remember?
