Speaking to reporters after a town hall event in Myrtle Beach, SC, Newt Gingrich sharpened his attack on one of his lesser rivals, Rick Santorum. The Wall Street Journal reports:
Mr. Gingrich offered his calculation: “If you vote for Sen. Santorum, in effect, you’re functionally voting for Gov. Romney to be the nominee. The only way to stop Mitt Romney, for all practical purposes, is to vote for Newt Gingrich. It’s a fact. It’s a mathematical fact.”
