Rick Santorum is 2 for 2 tonight. Shortly after winning Alabama, Santorum was declared the winner in Mississippi.
This is the tenth contest Santorum has won against two for Newt Gingrich.
It has been said that Newt is staying in the race to deny Mitt Romney the nomination. But at this point, the only one who stands to benefit from Newt’s continued presence in the race is Romney. If Newt truly wants to deny Romney the nomination then shouldn’t he pull up stakes and back Santorum?

Who is the biggest government person in this race? Why don't you show us the actual numbers? Ron Paul is responsible for more earmarks than the other two combined.

Do Your Homework, Liar.
Dr.Ron Paul,
" I have never voted for an earmark. I voted against all appropriation bills. So, this whole thing about earmarks is totally misunderstood.
Earmarks is the responsibility of the Congress.
If you cut off all the earmarks, it would be 1 percent of the budget. But, if you vote against all the earmarks, you don't cut one penny. That is what you have to listen to. We're talking about who has the responsibility, the Congress or the executive branch?
I'm saying, get it out of the hands of the executive branch. Just listen again about what I have said about the TARP funds. We needed to earmark every penny. Now we gave them $350 billion, no earmarks, and nobody knows..."

5 serious STRIKES AGAINST Romney:
Romney created the legislative basis for Obamacare with his own Romneycare.
ROMNEY JUST LIKE OBAMA has always supported bailouts for wall street.
while a candidate & while holding office in MA ROMNEY JUST LIKE OBAMA always ran as a pro-abortion & pro-gay marriage candidate
ROMNEY JUST LIKE OBAMA allowed anti-abortion religious institutions to not be able to get wavers for the anti-rape abortion pill.
ROMNEY JUST LIKE OBAMA doesnt admit to ANY mistakes, including all of the above.
5 important positive points IN FAVOR OF VOTING FOR SANTORUM:
Santorum helped put together legislation which curbed entitlements in the 90s & the 00s.
Santorum has always been against bailouts for wall street.
Santorum has always been against Obamacare.
through his coordination Santorum enabled the Supreme Court to get seated a conservative justice & conservative chief justice which will effect a conservative outcome from the Supreme Court over the next 30-40 years.
Santorum has always been pro-life.
Santorum admits his mistakes.
...and yu were saying???

The short answer to your question is; YES!
The trick is to get someone with a connection to Newt to burn through his ego enough to note your proposition to him.
At this point forward Newt remaining in the race is helping Romney.
Time to play St. Peter to Rick's St. Paul there Newt.
Maundy Thursday is coming up in a few short weeks... Revisiting your personal journey might be enlightening. It's time to lead by becoming the servant and humbly offer your support for the greater good.

Santorum enjoyed his longed for one v. one in Michigan and Ohio. He went 0 for 2.
That's not slighting him, but he hasn't the wherewithal to handle that type of unrelenting attack put together by Romney.
What we need to do first and foremost is stop Romney cold, deny him the delegates he needs to prevail.
ONCE that eventuality is secured, once Romney is denied the outright win, ----------------- then we need to have that conversation with the establishment of our party informing them that Romney is UNACCEPTABLE!
