Other problem is this would seem to take away a big bargaining chip in a floor fight. It would make it almost a guarantee that Santorum would team up with Mitt, easily giving them enough delegates to overcome Newt. I guess that would depend on the delegates being willing to play ball though. The Ron Paul delegates might balk at having Santorum on the ticket, and the Santorum delegates might not be willing to accept Romney as Prez just to get the V.P. slot. But under any scenario, even Newt or Santorum dropping out now, Romney is going to be so close to the majority of delegates that he won’t need many to flip to him to go over the top.

BS talk for a guy who is about to lose in 2 days. It probably won't be long before Fishy posts this article.

From my point of view, Santorum would prefer to team with Romney, for more than one reason. If you want the brass ring, it's always better to team with the leader in delegates; and from a political/philosophical standpoint, Santorum has more in common with Romney than he does with Gingrich.
