RE: At this point, it will be Romney or Santorum
A majority of the delegates to the convention will be conservatives (read that will be Rick’s or Newt’s delegates). Romney would never end up being the nominee coming out of a brokered convention.
I’d predict whichever of the two had the most delegates he would end up the nominee with the other being the VP nominee.
I wouldn’t count out Sarah though. I could see Newt throwing his support to her with Rick as the VP nominee.
I thinks Newt’s real goal is “Anybody but Romney”
