Gingrich and Santorum aren't even on the Ballot in like 5 states. When it comes to delegates Romney will have the most. Paul has his dedicated followers that will all be delegates, then you have Santorum and Gingrich splitting the not Romney because he's Mormon people. If neither Gingrich or Santorum drop out soon, we will see a brokered national convention.
Wat??????? Who said that on MSNBC ? Had to be 1 of their idiots. Gingrich doesnt have delegate 1 so far and somebody thinks he's about to start winning some?? when???? Thats just dead ass wrong.
Besides Gingrichs moneyman pulled out last week and he aint writing more checks unless something happens to resurge G's campaign....anything is possible but it's not going to happen. G ran less than $400,000 in ads last week Romney ran like $3 million and its downhill from here for Newt.
I agree Gingrich is done, even Paul has more delegates than him. Gingrich staying in only helps Romney
If Newt or Rick dropped out in the next week there would be a chance. But Romney wont lose as long as both of them (Newt/Rick) are still in the race. They split each others vote too much.
But make no mistake. Mitt would have a really hard time beating either Newt or Rick by themselves.
Mitt needs both of them to stay in the race till the end.
Mitt has his core voters.
Just about every Newt fans 2nd choice is Rick, and just about every Rick fans 2nd choice is Newt. So if one of those 2 drops out the other one will get almost all of that persons vote.
So instead of Mitt 40, Rick 30 and Newt 20
It would turn into Mitt 41, RICK/NEWT 48 or so.
Mitt would get very little of the dropouts vote.

Being around and being a viable contender are 2 different things.
What i was saying can be plainly seen today.... Do a google news search on him..
Santorum and Tea Party at odds......450 stories
Santorum couldnt win re-election in his own Senate race....10 stories
Santorum hasnt released tax returns....9 stories (havent seen 1 yet that mentions he isnt required to do so)
Santorum has "stone-age" view of women.....10 stories
Santorum lies about the founding fathers.....948 stories
Santorum an economic illiterate......10 stories
Santorum blames wife for anti-women views....10 stories
White House issues blatant lies on budget.....0 stories.
See a trend here? Same thing that happened to every contender so far. You have to remember that todays elections are American Idol tryouts....the guy who gets the best public persona will win. You will never see 1 positive story on Santorum in major (govt controlled) news media. Who wants to tell their friends they support a women hating, election losing, non-conservative, founding father opponent who hides his tax returns and uses his wife to weasel out of lies????? Thats what he is up against and they will never let off till he has no money coming in and is a middle of the pack guy like Paul and Newt...
Blah, Blah, Blah tons of stories floating around everywhere. Bring yourself up to date. 4 polls just released today show Rick Santorum ahead of Romney in 3 and Romney ahead in only 1 by 2 points. If Romney is the Republican nominee, Obama cruises to a easy victory in November. Most the polls show the same thing. I'm just saying that from a wagering position... the only possible wager is either Romney or Santorum. Both have a chance so I'd take 10/1 on Santorum.
