Yesterday I was saying that Newt and Santorum should tag team ROmney with Rick backing newt in Southern States and Newt backing Rick in Northern states with an express goal of stopping Romney.
With the latest round of polling and other things that have and are happening I am beginning to think that the tag Team does not need to happen in that way.
it may be time for Newt to approach Rick about a different kind of Tag Team — Newt drops out and endorses Santorum and in return Newt becomes Santorums CHIEF of STAFF or even VP.

At the link is a graphic that depicts how each candidate; Perry, Cain, Gringrich have pulled ahead only to fall back. The question becomes how will Santorum fair in this regard? I'm not sure what the final outcome will be but so far no one has been able to get solid footing with the voters and hold onto it.
