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