Newt should have disappeared many moons ago tbh. His ego continues to hurt his party. The good doctor should throw in the towel as well. Both should endorse Santorum for good measure.
Who, if anyone, will drop out after Super Tuesday?

The problem is, Newt is the best Charlatan among them, and he knows it.Newt should have disappeared many moons ago tbh. His ego continues to hurt his party. The good doctor should throw in the towel as well. Both should endorse Santorum for good measure.
Santorum will keep the pressure on for a while, but he seems destined to fade over the long haul. Newt is counting on big wins in southern Super Tuesday states, but I doubt he pulls more than his home state of Georgia. Paul will continue to get his customary 10-15% in each state and pose no real threat.
Yeah, I'd be surprised if it's not Romney at this point.
Romney or brokered convention at this point.....enthusiasm for Romney is way, way down, while events for Obama have been, well, packed, the wing-nut media's main focus at this point is to enrage it's wing-nut listeners with paranoid-hate mongering, God, country and gun social issues...
Latest general election poll shows Romney with a 4 pt lead over Obama.

Average of polls is the other way around.
Romney given 87% chance of GOP nomination.
Obama given 60% of re-election.

If one believes in the wisdom of crowds. I generally do when it comes to large scale events.
I think the Obama percentage will creep up there as the election draws near.
Romney offers a tailor-made narrative and specific gaffes that reinforce that narrative.
The last-minute people who tune in towards the end of the election (you know, the ones who actually get to pick the president) will have that ready-made narrative driven home by a campaign that has had a year to position itself to defeat that narrative, and a ten-figure bank account to do it with.
I think the Republicans have all blown it already. This ridiculous fixation on non-issue social issues has tainted the whole crew. ing idiots.
it worked in 04
also i'm gonna go ahead and save this post
I would love to be proven wrong,despite my *hock*spit* feelings toward the current field of republican candidates.
Respectfully:
It isn't non-issue to the religious right.
I agree with your assessment. The ultra-conservatives have forced the Republican party so far to the right as to make their party's national candidates unelectable.
The GOP has purged and marginized moderates, and is now reaping the rewards of that.
I don't feel sorry for the Yonivores doing that.
What scares me is what those types of extremists will do when their agenda is marginalized.
No real surprises so far and Romney is keeping his 3% over Santorum in Ohio. It is clear Santorum shot himself in the foot with his mouth and killed his own campaign. The JFK comment and calling Obama a snob did enough damage to move voters to Romney.
Mitt gets more delegates from Guam. This rascal just keeps on ticking.
I wonder who Mitt would pick as his running mate. It's hard for me to image the the last two standing. I think Paul or Cain would be a fun picks. God bless.
Rubio. Jeb Bush. Jindal. Christie. Someone with conservative street cred. Probably in a swing state with a large electorate. Rubio has is if he wants it.
I don't count on Newt winning. Most republicans don't care much about them, and I'm pretty sure the majority are splitting votes between Gingrich and Santorum. When either of these two drop out, the other should gain the majority votes.
Disclaimer:
Just my opinion.
I shouldn't have to make such a disclaimer, but we have some real asswipes here.
Jeb Bush endorses Romney. I see many more to follow to get Santorum and Gingrich to drop out.
I think Ari Fleischer said it best last night on CNN. To this point, Romney has taken two steps forward and one step back. He is now poised to take three steps forward and one back from here on out. He will lose Louisianna this week but he will win DC and Maryland and probably Wisconsin.
G.O.P. Nomination Becoming a One-Man Race
Mitt Romney’s big victories in Illinois and Puerto Rico this week have expanded his lead over Rick Santorum by roughly 60 delegates, putting him ahead by 300 delegates over all.
Increasingly, the nomination race is entering an endgame stage in which it is less a two-man contest between Mr. Romney and Mr. Santorum than one that pits Mr. Romney against himself. How certain is Mr. Romney to get the 1,144 delegates required to clinch the Republican nomination? And if he gets them, how soon will he do it?
Mr. Romney, who has 563 delegates, according to an Associated Press count, is almost halfway to the clinching threshold. But the voting calendar is now entering a slower phase that will persist for the next five weeks, until five Northeastern states vote on April 24, with 209 delegates at stake.
The soonest that Mr. Romney could officially clinch the nomination is May 22, when Arkansas and Kentucky vote. That situation would require Mr. Romney to win at least 95 percent of the delegates in Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Maryland, Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, Oregon and the District of Columbia, and to receive endorsements by virtually all of the Republican Party’s 77 undecided superdelegates by that time.

Santorum will hang in there as long as he can so he can guarantee "his turn" spot in 2016.
InSaneTorum now, and always (unelectable, even in PA where he's very unpopular), is simply building his brand and cred for lucrative speaking fees.
no way. it's Jeb's turn in 2016.
I don't think so.
