Newt single handily lost my vote over the last 2 weeks...I'm for Santorum, and if he exits the race, I'll be for Romney I guess.

I am with you, Vundy. I am for Santorum as long as he can hang on. Between Newt and Romney, I have been disappointed in both their campaigns, but I would probably pick Gingrich just to send Romney a message. Neither man has been a reliable conservative, so to me it is pretty much a toss of a coin between them.

It is a shame that party insiders have written rules and scheduled primaries and caucuses early in the process in such a way to make it so difficult for a true conservative to win the nomination. Once again, the process will spit out a moderate at a time when moderation is not what is needed.

I only hope that Romney will attack Obama at least as enthusiastically as he has attacked his fellow Republicans.

I think Newt just became desperate after being outspent 5 to 1 by Romney but he ran an ugly, slimy campaign.
