Marco Rubio to Rick Santorum and Newt Gingwich: Time to drop out! (hat tip: Hot Air)
Well, so much for unifying behind one candidate. Honestly though if this goes to convention and Mitt loses, the GOP will end up imploding in November. As unpopular as Obama is right now, his chances of winning reelection are probably at 50-50.
Someone wants to thin the GOP herd. Obviously the longer Newt and Santorum stay in the race, the more likely Mitt will be the GOP nominee. It will be interesting to see how Newt responds to this attack.

All I can ask is “why?!”
An NBC News/Marist Poll poll released Sunday showed support for the former speaker of the House soaring in South Carolina and Florida, making Mr. Gingrich the distinct front-runner for those states’ late January primaries. His performance in the Saturday night debate in Des Moines suggests Mr. Gingrich also remains on stable footing with just over three weeks left before Iowa’s first-in-the-nation voting on Jan. 3. (Wall Street Journal)
Is the GOP insane?! Newt might have superior debating skills than everyone running (Obama included) but the guy has enough political skeletons to fill up a grave yard!
Romney isn’t any better (my first choice is Perry, but his public gaffe’s make Joe Biden look good), but if Newt wins the nomination, then the world will have to endure another 4 years of Obamanomics. :-(
