We need to do what we can to put as much pressure on Romney to pick a conservative nominee (and other conservative concessions as you say). Romney will not pick Newt or Santorum, because if he was considering them for even a minute he would not went almost 100% negative on them for months and months. But maybe he will pick another conservative.

But hopefully Newt can win a few conservative states like maybe a Nebraska, Arkansas, South Dakota, Kentucky, or West Virginia (these are the only states where Newt will have any shot at all by my view). These are small states and will not give Newt anywhere the delegates to gain the nomination, but it would hurt Romney from the right and gain some media coverage of Romney’s problem with conservatives. Maybe, just maybe this will help prevent Romney from moving any further left.

Probably this is a fantasy of mine now. Probably Newt will not win any states, and if he does Romney probably will not care. But what else can we do now?

I agree with what you said on every point.

Newt will not be picked to be on any Romney ticket.

Newt is reportedly working under the radar, one on one, with selected delegates, uncommitted and committed, and will be working for more delegates as the race continues on to upcoming states.

Remember, Newt will get Florida delegates he earned that went instead to Romney, because Florida was being punished for running early, but not until the convention will that issue be ironed out.
