Huh??
Do you really believe that the votes going to Gingrich would otherwise go to Mittens?
Who are Gingrich supporters?
My guess is that they prepared to overlook Gingrich's personal weakenesses and failures in order to nominate a strong Conservative.
If Newt were out of the race, why would you think they would run to Mittens rather than the only other Conservative in the race?
BTW, in full disclosure, I was Herman Cain supporter before he was taken out and then a Newt supporter.
But Newt has proven to be unacceptable to most Republicans (probably for past failures and personality weaknesses).
I have know idea where Gingrich votes would go, and neither does anyone else, that’s the point. Somehow the assumption is that they would all go to Santorum, that is what I depute.
What is more likely to happen is that Gingrich votes would be split between Santorum/Romney and a few going to Paul.
Those pealed off votes from Gingrich might be enough to make Romney the nominee.
Bottom line is that no one knows what would happen to Gingrich’s votes, for me I want him to stay even if the only thing that happens is that Romney wont take the prize during the nomination process.
Personally, I had hoped Gingrich would be doing a lot better by now.
