Gingrich should get out and back Paul not Romney. Romney will be a disaster.

My guess: Santorum is staying in as an attempt to gain Romney's favor for the veep slot.
Funnily enough PPP has found Santorum has the highest favorability ratings among all the candidates, and would likely do the best in a two-person race against Romney from here on out.

Hush! We ALL want the Nutster to stay in til the convention and beyond.

What happened to the American way? if you don't know what I am talking about, look at it this way, a primary season is just that, it always has been and always will be and should be. Loving our country has nothing to do with it. Now, if after the convension Newt decides not to support anyone, that is a different story...

Yet, his favorability does not translate to actual votes for some reason.

[quote=Vegas Joe;22810546Every dollar Romney has to spend defeating Newt is a dollar that cannot be spent on defeating Obama which is every American's goal. quote]

You got some facts to prove this statement?

As far as I and many others see, it is only the GOP's goal, which by fact the GOP has stated since they took the house.

Newt could care less about America, he is only in for the power and the money. Why do you think he went on a book tour while all the other candidates were campaigning.

Why don't we let the other 46 states decide?

lol Newt should back the weakest candidate in the race and drop out? By that logic, Hillary should've backed out after the Florida primary and endorsed Dennis Kucinich lmao
