Drop Out, Gingrich and Paul!

Last night's primary elections resulted in victories for Senator Santorum in North Dakota, Tennessee and Oklahoma whilst Mitt Romney won Virginia, Vermont, Massachusetts and Ohio. Not to worry though, his narrow win in The Buckeye State doesn't really change anything as the delegates are distributed proportionally and there's a good chance Santorum will get the same amount of delegates as Romney. Meanwhile, Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich won his home state of Georgia - making his count of states carried a meager two. The only candidate not to win any state last night was Ron Paul, who is yet to carry a single state in these Primaries.

What Gingrich and Paul are essentially doing, especially Gingrich, is splitting the Conservative vote - increasing Romney's chances of winning the nomination at the National Convention this summer. Although Gingrich isn't exactly scoring big numbers - the delegates he will be appointed through Georgia would be a much-needed addition to Senator Santorum's delegate count, a candidate who actually still has a shot at the nomination. It is now becoming increasingly clear that it's all down to Santorum v. Romney and that the other two candidates have virtually no chance - so why prevent the only real Conservative candidate who has a shot at the nomination from winning the Primaries? Although Gingrich won South Carolina and Georgia and might win some delegates in Alabama and Mississippi, he is way too far behind in both delegate count and polls to have the slighest chance of neither winning the nomination nor winning the Presidential Election.

So, Newt, please drop out - cause you ain't got no chance anyhow. Move over and make room for someone who actually has a fair chance of winning - Senator Santorum. If Newt was really true to his Conservative conviction, he'd realize that only Santorum has any chance whatsoever to stop the flip-flopping millionaire bandwagon that is Mitt Romney.

Hang in there Santorum and go win the Yellowhammer and the Magnolia State!
