Santorum, Gingrich, Ron Paul people, are you more likely to get behind Romney if he keeps winning? (vote, liberals)

That's essentially what happened in 08. All the Hillary people just moved to Obama.

I know Ron Paul people for the most part say they will write in, which I do believe, but what about Gingrich and Santorum people?

Nope.

My primary is this Tuesday, and I'll be voting for Gingrich, but if Romney is the nominee, then of course I will vote for him.

I expect many Gingrich and Santorum supporters will get behind Romney in the primaries. I think the VAST majority of them will support him in the general election, even if grudgingly. I think most Ron Paul supporters will be with him to the end in the primaries, but I think many will either get behind Romney or Obama in the general. No doubt there will be some that won't vote or will write-in Ron Paul

If Romney does not get the nomination somehow (I don't think it's much of a secret that I plan to vote for Romney on my April 3rd primary no matter what though ) I will support whoever the GOP nominee is.

My friend is a delegate for Ron Paul in a caucus state, and he will write in Ron Paul in the general.

It depends how much I would want to see liberals cry.

Nope. An Obama win means a better chance for a guy like Rand Paul in 2016.

[FargoBison]

Does Santorum even have any supporters here? I don't think I've ever seen one.

I have bounced around for who I would support in the General and my State hasn't voted yet (RI), so I am not exactly sure who I will vote for, but in the general I will support Romney and will in some capacity work for the RNC in the general election.
