Why would he slam Romney to promote someone that is at odds with his social values?
I think it is because he knows Santorum will be the weakest candidate in a general election.
Romney needs to get his head handed to him. Whether Newt does it or Santorum makes no difference to me. The sooner Romney sees there is no way for him to win, the better. Perhaps Newt can up his game and get back into it because right now the only one giving Romney any trouble is Santorum. May he continue.
Naw. Would a liberal do that? Might Soros have done that and Newt took it hook, line, and sinker? Couldn’t be.
