The Gallup poll says 40% of Newt’s votes would go to Romney and 39% would go to Santorum.
With all those WTA-CD & WTA primaries coming, why do you think Santorum benefits if Newt drops out. Unless of course if the Gallop poll is inaccurate then I will concur with you that Santorum benefits by Newt dropping out.
This article is based on Santorum getting 56% of Newt’s vote and shows even in AL and MI if that happened, Santorum would have denied more delegates from Romney:
Is Newt Gingrich helping or hurting Mitt Romney?

I am suggesting that either Newt or Rick drops out and the other makes him his V.P., then they campaign together. Just like Cain and Perry are campaigning for Newt, but more intensely. They do need to get more than 40% of the other’s vote to make this work, and I think that joining up would do it. That is the suggestion I e-mailed Rick and Newt’s web sites.
Puhleeze! The gallup poll is not reflecting the actual state results on the ground where exit polling data shows that as much as 57% of Newt’s voters would pull the lever for Santorum if Gingrich were not in the race.
