1. Dead Heat

I suspect most of the Paul supporters would take Romney over Gingrich while the Santorum supporters would go to Gingrich.

2. But Paul won't get out...

...and the Party doesn't have much clout to force him to.

3. I hope he stays in,

it would be good for both political parties.

4. No one is mentioning the Mormon vote.

I see a backlash coming...and they have plenty of money. I don't think they would vote for the Mormon-bashing, bigots if that is all that is left standing for the GOP. They will wait for 2016 with Huntsman.

5. Santorum needs to walk away.

So that we can feel the full Newtmentum.

6. He'll walk away when Noot promises the VP job to him

It's all about backroom deals
