I'm in, til Newt's out.
Newt would be my first choice but he is done and needs to support Rick if we have any chance of stopping the establishment choice.

A brokered convention isnt going to pick the 3rd place finisher in delegates as the nominee.
From my perspective, Santorum is just as out of it as Gingrich is as far as beating Romney 1 on 1. Together though they still have a chance to keep Romney from getting to the number of delegates needed before the convention. That really is our only realistic chance, a dice roll at the convention. I also think that the only way Romney could beat Obama is if he chooses a conservative VP that is more popular than he is and brings excitement to the base. It has to be someone that can step right in and lead in case Romney gets his magic underwear all in a knot and flames out. I voted for Newt and I will be with him and for him until a nominee is confirmed, and then I will still be for him. Romney is the used car salesman version of Obama and I will hurl for days if he is the nominee. Santorum is a good man, but I don’t think he is ready for prime time any more than Herman Cain was. He is simply unseasoned and the news media and democrats would eat his lunch if he were the nominee. Maybe Santorum has a chance in 2016. Newt is the only one who can handle the media effectively and call them out and make them look like the fools that they are. He is also the only one who can make Obama look like the fool that he is.
Exactly how does he think he will win? Is he going to sweep all remaining primaries with over 50% in all of them?
There will be no brokered convention now. Romney's win last Tuesday pretty much guaranteed that. Also, the heavy hitter Conservative endorsements for Romney, will also carry the momentum all the way through April. Romney will likely win PA also. Santorum will have to drop out by then.
Newt's campaign money is in debt and his biggest contributor will pull the plug and go to Romney. Santorum’s money is also drying up very fast and he will be done well before the May Primaries where money will be everything.
It is what it is. It's time to start planning on how to beat Obama with what we have.
The media has learned not to show Gingrich on TV because every time they do his popularity goes up
Can you imagine Romney trying to debate Obama?
Mitt: “Heh heh I betcha $10,000 the economy is not better now. Heh heh com’on wanna bet?”
Against Gingrich it would be a blood bath
Heck with Newt, I have a better chance of winning.
Newt is a true nut. Maybe he could come up with how that is going to happen in 10,0000 words.

Check this out VinL. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/05/11039940-santorum-conservative-leaders-focus-on-getting-gingrich-out-of-race
Rick Santorum met with several conservative leaders at home in Virginia, sources close to the Santorum campaign confirms to NBC News.
One of the major goals — how to get Newt Gingrich out of the race and get his delegates to line up behind Santorum instead.
Newt said he is NOT getting out but if Santorum wants to drop out that is up to him.
I’m in til Newt says otherwise as well......Pa is coming up now and Santorum’s taking time off and meeting with “others”
will he stay in the race is the question because he must take Pa....and some polls are saying Romney’s ahead.
So if Rick stands down because he doesn’t want two losses from his home state...which would be really bad and hurt his career path....and I’m not so sure he won’t protect that first and foremost....then what....could Newt again rise with the path clear to do so?
On to convention!!!!!!
