"It may be that the rest of Newt supporters will go Romney even though they may likely not like it, but they have no other choice left. "

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.

You are very much in tune FRiend. I am also hearing the same thing from most of the Oil Industry I work with. They want Newt, but see Romney as volumes above Santo. They make no qualms over the fact that if Newt drops out, they vote Romney. And they are in the biggest primary states still yet to vote.

And none of them have ever heard of Free Republic and what I pointed out, is unanimous among them.
