Actually from a strategic point of view we can't have Perry/Newt/Rick drop out until we place better with their voters. Them dropping out would only help us, if we were polling second with most of their supporters, but last I heard we weren't...so for now them stealing votes from Romney is a good thing. It will make the election longer which we really need. You know what will happen if it comes down to Mittens vs Paul? The media will pretend that Mittens already won...ignore the rest of the primary contests and start blabbing about Mittens vs Obama. Yes...we need Perry/Newt/Rick out of thing...but just not yet.
