Santorum would knock Newt down a few notches—other than endorsing Specter and losing so badly in 2006, the x Pen Senator is smart and has the conservative street cred to dominate any of the others one on one.
Newt would be a fool to do this and if he doesn't—a coward.

That's what I don't understand. Soooooo many "conservatives" discounted Santorum from the outset because of his 2004 endorsement of Specter...at the behest of his party and president. Yet, when it comes to Gingrich's 2009 endorsement of Scozzafava, we are told that it was just a mistake, that we need to look at the totality of Newt's record, etc., etc.
