There’s increasing evidence that Ron Paul and Romney are teaming up, and of course at the moment it’s against Rick, since he’s the greater threat. If Newt comes back, then they’ll attack him again.
It was not a coincidence that Romney recently said that he might pick Rand Paul as his V.P. I think that’s the deal.
It was also true that Romney and the TV hosts stacked the audience with Mormons, who cheered Mitt and booed Rick. He had a legitimate complaint, and was well advised to speak out on it.
Ron Paul’s ads in Iowa were almost totally aimed at Newt. Now it’s Santorum, though not with the same budget impact. Clear what he’s up to.
