“He stated that one reason he had found the path becoming difficult was that he had solicited Newt & RP to coalesce, but that neither showed any interest - THAT was the contact he had with Newt.”

I’m a SOCON, so of course I like Rick. However, why would a SOCON want to coalesce with the Libertarian Ron Paul? Also, I find it hard to believe that Newt wasn’t interested in joining forces. What exactly does Rick mean by “coalesce?”

He wanted Paul and Newt to drop out, direct their supporters to support him. I know that for sure, but what he offered them - maybe Newt VP - and Paul something with economic reform - not sure about that...

There was a reason he didn't go into detail, I guess... He could have more honestly said I asked the others to drop and join me in fighting Romney, but he didn't do that... and he makes Newt look the bad guy, which he often did throughout the campaign.

You can spend all the time you like pawing through the political corpse of the Santorum campaign, but don't expect to find rational answers there.
