I believe if he somehow pulls this out of the dump and ends up the Nominee,
It would be an interesting senario if you could provide it as to how Newt could pull this off short of a convention fight where he won.
There are 1099 delegates left to be selected and Newt at best has 155. So Newt needs to win 989 of the remaining 1099 delegates in order to have 1144 delegates, the number needed to be nominated. Do you honestly think that is possible?
It won’t happen in the delegate count. It will happen at the Convention. Santorum is not ready to lead this nation and Romney can’t pull it together before the Convention. Neither have a National campaign to pull this nation together. If the Republican establishment thinks we are all going to roll over and support Romney, they are dead wrong. At some point, someone needs to tell Romney he has lost this nominee battle, but he has too much invested this time around to drop out. If Santorum drops out, I believe he will support Romney for the VP slot, as he was a traitor last time around, and I see no evidence that he would not do it again. Maybe, just maybe, he could be convinced to throw his support to Mr. Newt, but I would not hold my breath on that one. Santorum is an opportunist and will bale on conservatism and go with Romney for the VP slot.
Mr. Newt is too smart to choose Santorum as a VP running mate. Who could trust him? There are some evangelical conservatives that simply will not support Romney due to the Mormon religion. I know that no one wants to bring that up, but it is out there.
Mr. Newt is the only qualified Conservative to bring this country back from the brink of self-destruction.
