Entering this as a Santorum supporter I tend to agree with you on Newt. Maybe in the war to stop Romney he used valuable conservative resources and ended up causing Romney to win in the end. However at this point Newt is the only one still in the fight to stop Romney. To my thinking, we haven't reached Appomattox until Romney has 1144 delegates.
Agreed, but the fight at this point is to deny delegates, and we need to consolidate behind either Paul or Gingrich. If Gingrich blew Paul out of the water, he’d have won my vote tonight as spoiler. That didn’t happen.
Paul btw wins delegates in Rhode Island (4 from the Congressional district), and may win some more in CT and in New York.
