Santorum's shot at Victory

Rick Santorum needs Gingrich to drop out and stop playing spoiler.  To do this Rick needs to win Kansas, Mississippi, and Alabama.  Rick Santorum then needs to keep the momentum going by winning the Missouri caucuses (which decides delegates).  Mitt Romney has an "insurmountable" lead in delegates and states which is surmountable but only if Santorum can win Illinois on March 20th.  Mitt Romney will likely camp out in Illinois, given that the next few contests are very unfavorable to him.

If Santorum can win Illinois, it will give him a lot of street cred that he can actually be the nominee instead of just a tough opponent to occupy Romney's time and money.  If Santorum can win Kansas, Alabama, Mississippi, and the Missouri caucuses, he'll build a lot of momentum to win Illinois, whose GOP has gotten a lot more conservative as sane people flee that non-sense.
