He could give the presidency to Romney or deny him the presidency.
Now that’s a LOT of leverage. He could get Romney to commit to anything... just think about how badly Romney wants this.
They could unveil Romney’s commitments and Newt could bow out at the end of the final debate...on live TV, in front of God and everybody.
“They could unveil Romney’s commitments and Newt could bow out at the end of the final debate...on live TV, in front of God and everybody.”
Then Romney would renege on everything he was inclined to.
