Have to agree. Rick's polled well across the U.S. and Newt hasn't. Maybe he'll show us all and sweep both states tonight but if not, it's a sad commentary on a man who's been a great public servant.
You’re pretty quick to quite a man’s character negatively. Remember, neither Newt or Santorum have a credible path to 1,144 delegates. So Newt leaving the race now does not necessarily help Santorum more - and it might be less helpful - than Newt staying in and recommending to his delegates that they vote for Santorum on a 2nd ballot.
But in any case, I’d say the ease with which you judge a better man may be a sad commentary on your character.
