The best strategy right now, would be to see Santorum compete as strongly as possible where he feels he can come out on top and for Gingrich to do the same. The one caveat would be for either camp to pull back hard in states where their competition will end up giving Romney the delegates. Any state with a predominantly regional split of delegates (like where they assign them by who did best in each congressional) should be competed for and hard.
What is most important right now is that between Gingrich and Santorum combined they gain 50%+ of the delegates. If there was a clear possibility for either of them to do it alone then the case could be made but not in this environment. Not yet.
My guy Rick will have to solidify his case first (similarly Gingrich would need to stop the bleeding and show some wins before Santorum would be back in a position of thinking about getting out).
This is “noise talk” and mostly promoted by Romney no doubt. I don't trust Romney and Ru Paul cutting a deal at the convention if they have a combined 50% or more.

Other Freepers have come up with a theory that Ru will cut a deal with Romnuts to get Rand a position in the cabinet, VP or some other plum. Frightening. And who would care except us?
I agree with you, in majority part. If you look at some of the recent state polls, Romney is between 20-30-; and Rick/Newt are in mid-upper 50’s (combined).
They should be attacking Romney, and diminishing his numbers still further. Together, they can drive him from the race.
It seems to mean, Rick has to decide with whom he ultimately wants to cut a convention deal with- Mitt or Newt?
