It doesn’t matter whom we “support” anymore.
This is all about money, not attending rallies.
Santorum dropped out because of lack of funds and Newt will have to do same because his money sources are drying up.
Romney raised massive amounts of $ over a period of seven years.
None of the other candidates could compete on that level.
But Rick sure did give the dastardly Mittens a run for his money by winning 11 states...with very little funding and good ol’ grassroots volunteers!
“Santorum dropped out because of lack of funds”
Santorum dropped out because Friess, Romney’s mole sponsor sent to support him in order to destroy Gingrich advance, dropped him out and returned to Romney’s headquarters. And you are so blind not to see how Santorum rose and fell.
If Rick stopped his campaign after the disastrous results in North Carolina and Florida, Newt would have been now ahead!

“RINO GOP establishment was compliant in tolerating the Santorum run, knowing all along that Santorum merely would weaken the social conservative will power to anoint the Massachusetts moderate as their preselected choice. I never bought into this because there is no way “unseen forces” could get a little old Tea Party lady in Alabama to “like” Santorum. Polls aren’t perfect but you obscure actual VOTES, which Santorum suddenly assembled behind him. But, with Foster Friess instantaneously jumping to Romney after predicting Santorum’s surge long before he hit the GOP charts in January – I’m much more willing to consider this.”
Newt was beating Mitt in the polls by a good margin back in late December and early January.
Rick's support wasn't all grass roots. In my opinion he also had the support of the media and the RINOs early on, to take down Newt and to deliver Mitt a win.
And that's what happened.
And the eleven states Santorum won were in my opinion the only states he ever had a chance to win.
I’ve got to hand it to Rick. This was a very good “first showing”. I have a feeling he will be back.
I am still voting for Santorum in the Indiana May primary.
I will also be voting Richard Lugar to the cornfield.
Literally!
