Ive got mixed feelings about it.
If Newt does decide to get out of the race he should make a deal with Santorum. He tosses the delegates he can to Santorum in return for Santorum promising him the VP slot. However the same can be done in a contested convention.
Personally I can’t think of a better president / vice president team. Newt is strong enough that as VP he would have lots of input in a Santorum administration and he has the experience to apply the whip to congress.
Newt is too old to be VP. I can’t see him accepting that.

Our Cheney. I think it would work too.
I agree with you and I think Mark Levin is steering Newt that direction to team up with Santorum since Romney and Ron Paul seem to have an alliance. I think Newt wants some of his ideas implemented more than a VP slot but both could be worked out. He and Santorum are friends and CNN said they were on a long call after the most recent wins in Mississippi and Alabama. We had a local talk show host propose a team of both Rick as President and Newt as V.P. on his conservative radio show Thursday on WDBO (Bud Heddinger) in Orlando. Most everyone who called in was for it.
VP’s do squat, he would have more power as Chief of Staff. We don’t need another old VP, because when the President leaves, there is no one to inherit the leadership. Note Cheny as an example.
