I agree that a combined conservative vote would be best.
At this point, though, Rick’s argument is less compelling given his declining numbers. He’s going to try a revival in some smaller states and see if he can displace Newt.
I don’t think it will work, but I think he’s full speed ahead on the plan. That means his exit won’t take place for nearly a month.
And what exactly makes you believe Santorum would combine forces with Gingrich? Out of the gate in Nevada he is attacking Newt. Considering his “No Florida” campaign, he could have asked his supporters to vote Newt.
Santorum is pulling a Huckabee with the devout game.
You want to get some attention, start a third party candidacy in the same fashion as the Christine Todd Whitman/Jon Huntsman. The difference is, Gingrich has political traction.
