You can say whatever you like about how Newt would be the better man. It matters not. The hour is late. Newt can't make up ANYTHING and will not be the nominee.

Pushing for him to get more delegates does not hurt Romney.

There is nothing good about actively campaigning for Newt any more.

If he had won decisively last night over Santorum I'd have begun supporting Newt today, reluctantly. I know it will be hard to realize this.

John King at CNN put forth on his delightfully easy to follow electronic delegate counting graphic various scenarios last night, and I happened to catch that segment twice. There is no way around it:

If Santorum does his best reasonably imaginable from here on. with Romney winning all the predicted Romney win battles, Santorum catches up to Mitt and can win. If Gingrich steps out now. With Gingrich still in the race, most likely Romney gets them all in enough time to win. Or is missing a tiny amount by the convention. He WILL be the nominee.

It is crystal clear.

I can see why John King and all of his DNC buddies are ecstatic, in being able to support enthusiasm in the GOP, to help get Santorum nominated.

Santorum is who they are almost praying for to win. They even have an army of Democrats who are voting in every primary they can, for Santorum; Some very high percentages of them. (Up to 10% in some states)

They want Santorum to be the nominee for one obvious reason. What do you suppose that might be?
