I don’t agree with that take on Santorum and I’m strongly pro-Newt. I also find it inconceivable that Santorum will endorse Romney unless Romney becomes the nominee. Santorum has no future with Romney. The gulf on social conservativism (i.e. people who believe their religions and people who just follow it for show) is the single greatest dividing line in the party and only getting wider and wider as time goes on. And it is the social liberals who are causing the divide by hating social conservatives. Romney would have no room for Santorum in his adminstration. Newt and Santorum clearly have a long, positive relationship and can easily mend the minor wounds of this campaign. Santorum would have to endorse Newt if only because he might be picked by Newt for V.P. or another job, but he never would be by Romney. And I don’t blame him staying in the campaign. It is about time where he can see the tea leaves are not going to turn for him and this sounds like preparation for pulling out.
Sorry. I call ‘em like I see ‘em — and not without ample evidence.
Santorum IS selfish — in his eyes, HE is larger than the cause. He IS immature and he DOES exhibit a lack of wisdom.
While we’re on the topic, allow me to add: he’s whiny.
If commenting on what I have observed upsets your applecart, then let it be.
Don’t pretend that those truths are what sours you on Gingrich, though. Your mind is *already* made up.
