You think Romeny will win over Obama? I don’t and I would MUCH rather have Santorum than Romeny. Sure I voted for Newt in Florida but that was ages ago in political time and now NEWT has no chance in hell and is splitting the conservative vote. Time for him to step aside and perhaps take on a VP role for Santorum. Newt is stubborn and his ego won’t let him see reality as he thinks he is the best candidate to beat Obama but he has to beat Romeny first and he has no chance in hell in getting 1140 delegates, and the longer he stays in the race the more he screws it up for Santorum so I almost have to wonder if he is doing this on purpose as Newt isn’t the most conservative guy when you look at him and he more resembles the establishment Republican which is more similar to Romeny.

If he wants to be Santorum's VP, then stepping aside now would be stupid. The only reason Santorum would put Newt on the ticket would be because he needed Newt's delegates. So if Newt wants that to happen, then Newt's best strategy is to stay in and get as many delegates as he can. Eventually, the only states left will be winner-take-all states. At that point, Gingrich will no longer be able to get any more delegates and he will have more bargaining power with either Santorum or Romney, depending on his intentions. Based on everything he and Romney have said, I don't see a Gingrich-Romney team up as even a remote possibility.
