Breaking News: Rick Santorum will win the Oklahoma Republican primary, CNN projects based on exit polls.
But it won't be enough but it still is important to keep his campaign to continue.

Whoah! Santorum takes a very slight lead in Ohio.
Taking Tennessee and Oklahoma from Newt is big. If Newt can't even prove to be a legitimate regional candidate then the dollars and support should dry up.
I wonder if he'd have taken Virginia.
It's not the Santorum voters that should worry the GOP as much as it is the anti-Romney vote..
Disagree. Outside of Newt's home state this has been a Santorum v. Romney...two legitimate candidates for the nomination.
You don't get it....the fact that Santorum is considered a 'legitimate candidate' at all is the concern for the GOP...
I get that you don't think he's a legitimate candidate. I also don't value your opinion.
Who cares.....he's still not a legitimate candidate...
Do you think Santorum is a legimate contender in the general?
Even Paul polls better than Santorum against Obama

Again, says you.
Ok, he's a legitimate candidate
bahhahahahahahah!
Sure. As much as the media Wants to pigeon-hole him as a social issues candidate, he's got a good economic message and credibility (against bailouts, cap-and-trade, etc.). He appeals to blue-collar voters across party lines.
Those polls are useless this early in the process. Not enough people care enough at this point to get to know the non-Obama candidates.Even Paul polls better than Santorum against Obama

Santorum's candidacy would be dead without the help of a few wealthy backers, in the general, once the 'population' learns who, it's over...
Disagree, again. He has won several contests while being outspent. One state like Iowa may be a fluke, but he's only gotten stronger since then.
Santorum is winning with two crowds, social conservatives and the anti-Romney crowd, that's not gonna win you a general...
Carrying democrats in Ohio. And I didn't see the anti-Romney vote in the exit polling...curious to get your source.
This could be seen two ways AF.
The media didn't make him a nut job who plays with dead fetuses tbh
At this point, any vote not for Romney is an anti-Romney vote, it's
romney or brokered convention..no other candidate can win...
I don't see a Santorum economic plan either, certainly no viable deficit reduction plan....
He doesn't have credibility as a fiscal conservative, just check his voting record. And the media absolutely would pigeon-hole him as a radical christian social conservative as well as a warmonger because that's what he is. I've heard him for years on various opinion shows and there's no shortage of material to use against him. You can bet Obama gets a hard on at the thought of Santorum being the nominee.
Not denying that.
