The Last Stand Of The Not-Romneys

My conservative friends in Iowa would like to see Gingrich and Perry leave the GOP race to allow conservatives to unite around Rick Santorum. But since Gingrich appears to have momentum, Erick Erickson wants Perry to get out and endorse Newt.

It's the last stand of the "not Romney" voters...hoping that the field will shrink to one conservative candidate around which early voters will unite and deny the Republican nomination to Mitt Romney.

That's because there are still a lot of delegates to be awarded. But the longer that the field contains Perry, Gingrich, and Santorum, Romney will continue to win.

Despite Santorum's Iowa win, it DOES appear that Gingrich is getting his third wind...because the Romney campaign has gone back on the attack.
