Texas Governor Rick Perry has dropped out of the GOP presidential race. He endorsed Newt Gingrich. So did Sarah Palin. Ex-candidate Herman Cain, however, endorsed “the people.“
Gingrich’s former wife is saying that he wanted “an open marriage” even as he was making speeches about family values.
Meanwhile,
Rick Santorum won the Iowa caucuses. A miscount had given the victory to Mitt Romney, but it turns out that Santorum actually had 34 more votes.
So where does all of this leave us? If enough candidates drop out, might voters coalesce around someone other than Romney? If so, who? Ron Paul is, of course, a major alternative.
Who do you think would be better–or worse–Gingrich or Santorum?
