Paul, Gingrich and Santorum. Newt seems to be on a vendetta. Paul is on his own kick. He shouldn't even be in the party. Santorum lacks money and support.
But, I think the three of them think it is in their interest to stay as long as possible. Not that they think Romney will implode or be taken down by a scandal, but they think Romney is a sleaze ball that no one really likes and as long as an alternative is available, they may benefit. Romney only has 20 of the 1144 delegates needed!
