Political science professor calls on Gingrich to step down and back Santorum

[alp227]

In December, radio host Michael Savage offered Newt Gingrich a million dollars to drop out of the 2012 primaries. Now, Stephen M. Kranson, a political science professor at Franciscan University (Steubenville, Oh.) published an article on CNN.com calling on Gingrich to step down due to poor polling performance: "Gingrich and Santorum have been competing for many of the same voters. Had Gingrich not been in the race, Santorum would probably have won more contests, including the biggest prize of Ohio, as well as the Michigan primary. It seems fairly certain that without Gingrich, Santorum would now be the clear front-runner and some people would be calling for Romney to depart the race."

1. That is why Gingrinch is getting Pack money. The GOP elite want Rmoney to win.

2. And maybe without Santorum, Gingrich would have won contests and be more close to nomination.

3. EXACTLY! Grinch is not that far behind Frothy in delegates. In fact, if he wins MS

or one of the states, neither or which Santorum is doing that well in, he will be in second place in terms of delegates won.
