Excellent, Jeff.
Bottom line is that Newt should step down now. There are influential people talking with him now but so far, he won’t budge,,saying he will get out if he loses Mississippi and Alabama. But this is faulty reasoning as a split vote in those states won’t help Santorum, who needs to win them.
Newt can be either a spoiler or a kingmaker.
There’s a place for him in the administration..Press secretary to an ambassadorship are two suggestions.
Anyhow, that is the type of thing they must do and then they must both come out announcing it and then working for it together so they combine the groups as completely as possible.
