Evangelicals Consider Pushing Gingrich, Perry To Drop Out And Back Santorum

WASHINGTON -- A prominent evangelical Christian said Friday that if Rick Santorum continues to surge in the polls and does well in New Hampshire and South Carolina, Christian leaders are planning to ask Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry to drop out and get behind the former Pennsylvania senator.

"There is real concern that [Mitt] Romney will win without having to face one concentrated effort of a conservative challenger," Richard Land, one of the most well-known Southern Baptist leaders in the nation, told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell.

"What I hear conservatives saying is we need to keep talking about this and we need to let Gingrich and Santorum and Perry continue to make their case, but at some point, earlier rather than later, we need to try to unite all of the social conservative forces around one candidate and have this great debate that so many people want to see between Romney and the non-Romney," said Land, whose official title is president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.

"Santorum has to do the convincing. He did a lot of convincing in Iowa," Land said. "He's surging. The question is what's going to happen in New Hampshire and then what's going to happen in South Carolina."

3. The recently released South Carolina poll must have scared the shit outta the fundies

I've always assumed that Romney would do poorly there, but if there's a three-way split between the fundie favorites, with Paul sucking a little oxygen out of the room, Mittens could indeed win that state, even though he wouldn't get more than his usual 25-35 percent of the vote.

Here's my prediction: If one of the three, Santorum, Perry, or Newt does well enough in New Hampshire to be either a strong second or third (behind Paul) then the snake handlers will publicly beg for the other two to drop out before South Carolina. Now, Mittens would only get a fraction of the delegates, but they want a clear anti-Romney by the time it becomes winner-take-all.
