Too late...that can't possible be done for a Santorum win when he is not registered in enough states to even come close to the delegates he needs.
He is not on the ballot in IN He is not on the ballot in DC He is not on the ballot in VA He will not field any delegates in ND,Ill, or TN He is not on the ballot in 20% of OH
He could not even try to compete in the first big state of FL, and has already said as much about CA and NY.
So how does this then happen for him...it doesn't! And for those who think going to a brokered convention is the answer... the GOP have already staged and set that for a Jeb Bush run as well....
...so more than likely Romney will promise Santorum a position before the convention, and deals are usually struck then because most don't want to go to convention,... Santorum won't refuse because that's why Santorum is in this race..to further his political ambitions..so we're stuck once again with Romney if people don't wake up and get behind Newt.
It’s late, and I’m going to bed, so I’m not going to get into details right now. But your information is misleading and deceptive at best. A detailed analysis of the delegate situation is given here:

Santorum will be ineligible for only about 3 or 4 percent of delegates. Newt will be ineligible for almost that many. There is only about a 20 or 25 delegate difference between Rick and Newt in terms of how many delegates they will be eligible for.
Rick will be fine in terms of delegate possibilities. So will Newt. Read the information at the link and quit spreading useless and misleading information.
