In my opinion, yes he should. In this GOP race, there is a search other then a moderate. Santorum is a true conservative with great economic, social, and immigration plans. [1] Gingrich in my opinion is impeding a victory against Romney. Gingrich's funding seems to be slowing and he is doing poorly in performance, 3rd in delegates out of 4. [2] These two people make it hard to get Romney on a 1 vs 1. The majority of the republican party prefers another candidate over Romney, and doesn't generate enough enthusiasm and will be the better of the two evils candidate in 2012. Gingrich impedes Santorums conservative triumph, and sorry newt you are liberal yourself. [3] Now, people here might claim "Newt stay, we need a moderate candidate". Well the problem is moderate candidates often fail. Moderates many times lose: George H. W bush second term, Bob Dole, John McCain, and Gerald Ford, all lost. Ronald Reagan, a conservative, won.
“We want a conservative nominee because that’s our best chance of winning. Look at the races in the last 30 years, we nominated a moderate: [John] McCain, [Bob] Dole, Gerald Ford. When George [H.W.] Bush ran for re-election back in 1992, after raising taxes and increasing spending. They all ran as moderates. We all lost. Every time we’ve run as a conservative, we’ve won, Why? Because Americans want a choice. If it’s a difference between somebody, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, you know what, this country is going to probably going to stick with the person they know. We need to have a sharp contrast. Someone who paints a very different vision for America.” ~ Rick Santorum
