ALL the polls show that an exit of Gingrich HURTS Santorum not Romney - so quit with the stupid tantorums
Actually, there is strong polling data to suggest that as much as 57% of Gingrich’s votes would go to Santorum.

Indeed, one can make the very plausible argument that it is Gingrich who has given us Romney. Had Gingrich withdrawn prior to the MI and OH primaries, Romney today would have been burnt toast. Romney won MI by a thin 3% where Gingrich siphoned 7% of the vote and Santorum lost to Romney in OH by under 1% where Gingrich took home an insignificant 14%. These were crucial primaries where a Romney loss would have been catastrophic.
Sheldon Adelson hates Santorum because of his conservative social causes. The casino mogul is in hot water with federal investigators for criminal activity and would rather see Romney rather than Santorum.
