I agree with you and I think Mark Levin is steering Newt that direction to team up with Santorum since Romney and Ron Paul seem to have an alliance. I think Newt wants some of his ideas implemented more than a VP slot but both could be worked out. He and Santorum are friends and CNN said they were on a long call after the most recent wins in Mississippi and Alabama. We had a local talk show host propose a team of both Rick as President and Newt as V.P. on his conservative radio show Thursday on WDBO (Bud Heddinger) in Orlando. Most everyone who called in was for it.
Woops! Correction on the radio station: S/B 540 WFLA Orlando.

I'd sign that ticket.
