Gingrich: 22% (-1)

What I did was multiply Mitt's number today by five, to unaverage it, and Newt's number today, by 5, to unaverage it.

So that's 150 for Mitt and 100 for Newt. Then you subtract yesterday's numbers four times from that, so

150-33-33-33-33 = 18
100-17-17-17-17 = 32

Is that right?

It's right assuming the first day of yesterday's 5 day average is equal to the average of the other 4 days.

Gingrich 31% (+3)
Romney 27% (-2)
Paul 12% (-1)
Santorum 12% (+1)
Other 3% (-2)

Well, Newt's doing well nationally, but we have to take it one state at a time.  If Romney wins Florida, many of his supporters may go back to Romney.

[Mehmentum]

Santorum needs to drop out after Florida and endorse the next President (possibly) of the United States in order to blunt the impact of Romney's comfortable victory there.

Why would Santorum drop out?  He has the momentum.  Gingrich is fumbling and Santorum's just had two great debate performances. 

[Mehmentum]

Looks like it's over then. At least we stopped Romney from sweeping all 50 states.

Don't loose hope! Remember when we thought it was over when he won New Hampshire?

The next two pages of this thread shall be nothing but us using the words "deluge" and "Santorum" in the same sentence.

Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge. Santorum Deluge.
