Santorum saying he'd beat Romney if Gingrich dropped out.

A candidate saying he is capable of winning. What a surprise.

You missed the point, the point being that Gingrich's support would be split between Romney, Santorum, Paul, not going en masse to Santorum.

A big surprise is the absolute stupidity of the Republican primary system.

Confusing is a good word to describe it.

Starting in 2016, all Republican primaries and caucuses should have the following requirements:

-Only registered Republicans can vote

-Candidates are granted the number of delegates in proportion to the percentage of the vote they receive

-Candidates must win at least 15% of the vote in order to qualify for any delegates
