I actually think Newt will pick Rick Santorum. Santorum could step in as president immediately if needed.... very knowledgable. He would definitely help Newt win PA. ....and, he is more conservative than Newt, which should ease many concerns from the hardcore right wing types.
There is NO WAY he picks Mitt Romney. That was a strategic answer to possibly get some dejected Romney people to accept Newt as the nominee in hopes Mitt will be his VP.
No he couldn't. Santroum is the least qualified candidate. Whining is not a leadership skill.
