Don't we need Newt to stay in the race to make sure its more likely to be brokered convention? ^^

Dr. Paul has talked about the gold standard and the Fed for decades. Newt has talked about it for months.

Well...there is a lot of cross-over between Newt and Gingrich supporters. I think we would be lucky to get a 1% bump from Newt dropping out while Santorum would get a huge bump.
Newt maybe shooting for a brokered convention. He also may know that there are a lot of southern contests coming up in March (almost all of them) and the GOP rules have awarded extra delegates to most of the Southern states because they've done a good job of electing republicans (stupid I know). So Newt could be making a magical comeback in March here...and he knows it. I don't see him dropping out until April...if even then.
What's interesting is that Santorum is targeting Georgia. He may be going for the jugular as it would look very bad for Newt if he didn't get Georgia on Super Tuesday and that might be the one thing that would force him out.

I read somewhere that his billionaire backer after NV and the Tuesday following was not as eager to back him, but it was a throwaway line in a story about something else.

OK, but honestly I did read he was. But I didn't look into it. It might have just been speculation. I do understand he is leading in the polls in Georgia.
