There is only one way to stop Willard the Lib. And EVERYONE knows it.

A Gingrich-Santorum Alliance..

Could a deal be in the making between Santorum and Gingrich to deny Romney the nomination?

Almost all polls show that Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are chasing after the same conservative GOP primary voters. Mr. Santorum may not be able to beat front-runner Mitt Romney with Mr. Gingrich in the race, but in a two-man contest his prospects improve markedly. Could a deal be in the making between Messrs. Santorum and Gingrich to deny Mr. Romney the nomination?

It’s too early to count out the former House speaker, but even Mr. Gingrich acknowledges that he has to win Georgia and probably one or two other southern states to carry on. Super Tuesday could be his last hoorah. If Mr. Gingrich drops out, he will almost certainly throw his support behind Mr. Santorum. The two are friendly from the days when they served in the House together. More importantly, there is no love lost between Mr. Romney and Mr. Gingrich, who maintains that Mr. Romney’s political attacks on him crossed a line.

When I ask a senior Santorum adviser about an alliance, he whispers that Mr. Santorum’s odds go way up with Mr. Gingrich out. But he also emphasizes that Mr. Santorum has avoided asking the former speaker to quit the race.

That might make the most sense. Whose ego will yield, though? The Newt’s? Or the Rooster’s? Someone has to be veep in this pair.

You have to be kidding. For weeks, you have been bashing

Speaker Gingrich. Newt is not getting out. He is working his

way to the convention. Newt is stronger than all others.

"If Mr. Gingrich drops out, he will almost certainly throw his support behind Mr. Santorum."

I don't agree, as a Newt supporter my support would go to a third party or write in. santorum is left of Bush and I don't believe he is capable of doing anything but further damaging the conservative cause. If things have to get worse for Americans to wake-up, then so be it.
