You’re not acknowledging the key point of my post as to why Newt’s voters would go to Santorum, and that is that I’m advocating for Santorum to announce Newt as his V.P. and for both to continue making campaign appearances together. We need a game-changing move like that to change the course of this primary. That would help us with both excitement, extra donations, and the delegate math and rules which insists our winning candidate must start getting over 50% in some states to shut Romney out of delegates and must certainly not let Romney win by us splitting the vote, like we did in Illinois where 18 out of 28 Romney counties could have went to a candidate with Rick and Newt’s votes combined.
If Santorum announced Newt as his VP pick do you think 100% of Newt supporters get on board? Furthermore, do you think a Santorum/Gingrich ticket can catch Romney, or would they just be able to prevent him from getting to 1144?
