Romney better hope that PPP poll is off the mark, because the internals on it look even worse than the overall numbers. Romney has a 44/43 favorability, while Santorum is at 64/22. If Gingrich drops out, then Santorum's lead moves from 38-23 to 50-28. It's funny that the same criteria Gingrich used to say Santorum should drop out earlier means Gingrich should definitely drop out now.

With those favorables the only thing keeping Romney afloat is electability. If enough people decide Santorum is electable or at least as electable as Romney the race could be much more open than I thought it could be.
