As much as it pains me I find myself in agreement with Quin Hillyer. It would probably be prudent if Newt Gingrich drops out of the race along with Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann.
But I don’t think Newt should drop out just yet.
Given his animosity towards Mitt Romney, Newt is no doubt salivating at the opportunity to lay his gloves on Romney during the two New Hampshire debates scheduled for Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Unless he finishes in double digits, methinks Newt will drop out after New Hampshire and throw his support Santorum’s way once the attention focuses on South Carolina.
UPDATE: I am watching Newt speak. He praised Santorum for running a positive campaign “unlike other candidates” (a not so subtle dig at Romney.) While Newt also congratulated Ron Paul he also called his foreign policy “a stunningly dangerous for the survival of the United States.” It looks like that Newt will be laying his gloves on both Paul and Romney this weekend.

Gingrich is from GA, he can win in SC and FL, or may be split either one with another southern, Perry.
RJ| 1.3.12 @ 11:29PM
I don't think tonight establishes Rick Santorum as the non-Romney alternative. Gingrich and Perry might as well continue the fight into South Carolina. Santorum is likely to flame-out like the others, giving Gingrich and possibly Perry another chance.
Interested Conservative| 1.3.12 @ 11:44PM
"It looks like that Newt will be laying his gloves on both Paul and Romney this weekend."
Why not, they've certainly done as much and more to him.
RJ is correct - Newt will do well in the south, even if Santorum doesn't flame out.
If Bachmann quits running for the Romney VEEP slot, the right wing of the GOP will remain a 70% non-Romney majority. All the money from HQ isn't enough to buy off a convention with those numbers.

Santorum is for real.He'll be under increasing fire from now on but we're not going to see one of the others swapping places with him for the anti-Romney support.Conservatives have been waiting for the right person to rally around.Maybe we've found him.
