If Newt and Santorum were to team up, would that eliminate the possibility of a brokered convention?
I can’t answer that. If the party brass and Wall Street want a candidate of their own, they have the money and media contacts to make a good run at it. That’s not saying they will pull it off, only that they have the ability to muddy the waters and make trouble for any candidate not meeting with their approval.

Santorum is in the race at the behest of the RNC to drain Newt of votes.
His “team” is Romney, hoping for a cabinet position.
