It wouldn’t surprise me if Gingrich and Santorum have a deal about the loser dropping out, especially if it looks like one of them could have taken Romney out without the other in the race.

One suspects that Gingrich knows he’s toast, and is campaigning merely as a stalking horse for Santorum.

When Santorum wins it all he’ll owe some thanks to you, McCain. I’m dead serious. Hope you get that ambassadorship (or any other kind of ship, for that matter.)

What, they are dividing the key “Washington insider lobbyist” vote?

At this point, Gingrich is simply blowing brain bubbles, and is determined to make his departure as damaging as possible, nothing more.  This is the Newt the old folks tried to warn you about, GOP voters…

Greg Delleny is not only a strong pro-life Representative, but also great on taxes and spending, and as a bonus sends the left (yeah, we have a few) into fits of apoplexy, which means he must be doing something right.  But I doubt seriously if he has 10% name recognition statewide. 

Santorum does have a reasonable chance of coming in second here, thanks to Newt and Perry going completely off the deep left end on Bain.  Both are walking it back – Perry already lost his top bundler here, Wynn, who wants no part of the anti-capitalist agitprop – but it is too late. 

This is what most people are talking about, though, which means the details of Santorum’s lifelong relationship with Big Labor haven’t hit the fan as of yet.  Or the fact that he went from the Senate to K Street.  Or his history of supporting federal spending programs.

As long as the subject is Romney’s record and Newt’s instead of Santorum’s, Rick has a chance.  (At second).

I don’t see either Gingrich or Santorum dropping out after South Carolina.  Perry will drop out after SC, though.  It’s not out of the question that Gingrich could win South Carolina, with Romney and Santorum fighting for second.

Wouldn’t that take the wind out of the Romney sails, if he finished 3rd to Gingrich and Santorum?

Nope. Haven’t met the chap. 

And I hereby denounce myself for having speculated that Gingrich had any motivation other than devouring whatever billy goats passed under his bridge.
I forgot how he’s exactly like someone who conspired to have his brother-in-law killed. 

He’d go into pure panic mode then, not that you would ever know about it. His surrogates in the media would sure be sweating bullets. We might finally get to see if Chris Christie really can bounce back up to a standing position automatically upon falling straight to the ground.

And who is going to finance their campaigns after South Carolina?

It’s more likely Zombie Reagan will rise from the grave and eat Mitt’s brain than he will lose SC at this point.  Gingrich and Santorum may stay in, but who is going to write them checks?

It takes more than a few internet cranks to run an actual campaign.

Considering that I think the RINOs in the party need their fingers broken with a hammer to release the death grip they have on the steerinng wheel…I’m okay with ‘Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war’.

Newt….Teach the Establishment fear since they will learn from no other school.

The crowd of the Dead were gathered on that night, and shuffles and whispers ran through them.

Who would speak this night?  Who would dare the crowd? Who would have Courage?

And Zombie Reagan rose and spoke of liberty and life and love of country and God, and it was like they were alive once more.  Many clapped as he wound up his speech, with body parts falling off as they hooted and hollered.  And Lenin looked down ashamed, and ground his teeth, and then spit out them upon the ground when they came loose in his skull.

And then Zombie Reagan finished his speech…

“And furthermore….Romney Delenda Est!”

And patriots from all generations cheered.

The same people financing them now, only more of them. Come to think of it, I think I need me a nice sweater vest.

Heh
