Sorry I did not make myself clear. I meant any of the Republican contenders this time around including those who have since withdrawn and, even Gov. Palin would accept an offer from whoever is the nominee. And now we have confirmation that Gingrich too would accept a VP slot if offered.

Hey Romneybot, Newt said the same thing

But Newt never openly ran around the country claiming that Romney and Obama were the same. Newt has always said he would endorse whoever the nominee was. Newt has always said he would campaign for whoever won the nomination. Santorum, on the other hand is now speaking out of both sides of the mouth. Basically, he lied to you for your vote and now he's giving your vote to Romney.

Santorum is now saying that he's willing to be the VP of the Godfather of Obamacare which makes his "runningmate" uniquely UNQUALIFIED to run against Obama.

But then again, to many of us. No surprise. He endorsed Romney as "The Real Conservative" back in '08.

I never trusted the man. I never even considered for a second voting for Santorum in the primaries for that reason.

2ndDivisionVet, is no "Romneybot. I do not think his post was meant to praise Santorum for his desire to share the ticket with the man he claims is the worst man to run against Obama. To Santorum it's politics.

Let’s put this all into perspective. Here’s what Santorum has said more than once (in fact many times)

Don’t look now:

Newt Gingrich said today he would be willing to be second on a Mitt Romney ticket.

“No, I wouldn’t say no,” Gingrich said on Fox News Channel’s Your World with Neil Cavuto about what he would do if he was asked to become Romney’s vice president. “I can’t imagine him offering.”

Did Speaker Gingrich also say that Romney was the worst candidate to go against Obama, like Senator Santorum did? If so, share that with us.

Good lord. The twist and spin and justification-gymnastics between the two Not-Romney camps can get amazing sometimes.

Not sure how the two are related.

Doh, I must be taking the infallible one out of context again. My bad.

A Santorum supporter deferring to Newt for moral validation. Interesting.

Why do we have to keep with the fantasy that Romney’s positions are the exact opposite of his positions?

His actions as governor speak louder than his campaign promises.

You’re just as bad as the CBS sleazeball that tried to distort Santorum’s comments.

Santorum said “Romney was the worst candidate to go against Obama ON HEALTHCARE/OBAMCARE”

Watch this video. In addition to taking the reporter head-on, Rick is speaking to people like you too.

Me too, my hands won’t be tainted with evil - even though voters want to destroy America. They ain’t going where I am, anyway.

Last election he campaigned and supported Mitt, this election he’s ready to be his VP.

The only hope left would be that conservatives can agree on a single write-in candidate.

AGREED! Romney will get his same 30% and the conservative write in 70%.

If conservatives can’t hear the sandbag descending towards their heads at this point they’re deaf.

Willfully so.

They’ve been explicitly warned, for a very long time.
