Right now, if a conservative wants to deny Romney delegates, his best chance is to vote for Ron Paul.

I'd have to agree with this thinking. I don't like Paul myself, but he is THE protest candidate at this point. There isn't room for two, and Newt is just making a fool of himself now. Oddly enough, Newt might actually be keeping down Paul's vote totals by acting as a second spoiler protest candidate. In the end, for this election cycle anyway, it won't matter.

Santorum also came very close to beating Newt in Rhode Island as well, and should beat Newt in total votes tonight. Not too shabby for a withdrawn candidate.

Not bad at all actually. But even Santorum knew at the end of the day there was no path to the nomination for him. Newt is just, well as I said before, really embarrassing himself now. I also think he is doing great damage to his brand.

There was a path, but not while Newt was in the race. Gingrich did the impossible, he was the final piece to the puzzle that ensured a Romney victory in the republican primary.

Santorum sat his last push out, he knew he couldn't win Pa and so threw in the towel rather than go thru the political embarrassment of loosing Pa again and hurt his upcoming political career....

I'm proud of Newt for being the last Conservative standing...and I was Proud to vote for him today...he hasn't swayed from his intentions and stayed the course with ‘all’ against him....and he's not letting the media nor the other candidates determine if or when he's out...he's going the distance he feels is right for this country and I'm glad that he is.
