In LA, in the exit poll, more Gingrich voters by a clear margin chose Romney as their second choice rather than Santorum. I don't know if that is the case in NC, but for those who think that Newt getting out might help Santorum's percentage versus Romney's, perhaps they should not be quite so sure of that. My guess, is that most of Newt's anyone but Mittens voters have already defected to Santorum. The balance are more ambivalent.
Pretty sure PPP tweeted that Santorum picks up a big lead when Newt drops out.
Santorum would be ahead 43-37 if Gingrich dropped out.
