It’s not about my hopes.

It’s about the folks that voted for Newt, Rick, Rick and the Sarah supporters did not just evaporate. They were NOT voting for Willard back when all were in the race and it is unlikely they are going to start now. Put those numbers together and then you have got something formidable.

This will additionally focus attention on Newt, giving him more opportunity to be seen. Folks can then realize yeah, he really is better that Willard.

This is exactly what I posted back on Feb 1.

Santorum needs to team with Newt, ask Perry and Palin to join in their campaign and push into the lead.

If coalitions could have been formed, it would have already been done.

One of the reasons Santorum gave up is that there is no possibility of a coalition.

All of this was examined in excruciating detail before the announcement.
