I don't think the GOPe would have any objection to a Romney/Santorum ticket. My speculation was along the lines that Santorum will have some substantial bargaining power; and that the GOPe would rather Santorum be on the ticket, than Gingrich. That, plus Romney is likely to enter the convention as the front-runner, with close to 1144 delegates. If delegates bleed off to Santorum, then there will be quite an incentive to combine Romney and Santorum.

How will two Northeasterners play out in the south?
RE: Romney/Santorum ticket.
Well, in another Rick Santorum thread, I have read REAMS of accusations against Santorum that he has sold out to the pro-life cause by endorsing Romney in 2008 (Romney of course, is the so-called born again pro-life candidate who still defends Romneycare, which among other things, pays for — ABORTION ).
Santorum running as Romney’s VP will only cement the view that he is selling out the pro-life cause of the Republican party.
How’s he going to answer that?
Don’t be putting your money on that. Seriously.
