"If we unify behind Santorum, it will force Romney to pick him as his running mate - for he'll know that's the only way to get our support in the general (election in November)."
That's the slimy deal behind this. They'll go for Romney if he goes for Santorum on his ticket. Should we call them Judas Conservatives?
We suspected this all along: Santorum is a stalking horse for Romney. A vote for Santorum is a vote for Romney. Folks in South Carolina need to know this.”…..
I figured as much, There’s a reason most of his supporters don’t seem to care if Romney wins SC, and why they openly take about only making a “strong finish” there.
Yes, let’s bash everyone but Rick Perry. That will make me want to support him. Not. After the campaign Perry has run he could not win Texas. He is DONE>
“If we unify behind Santorum, it will force Romney to pick him as his running mate - for he’ll know that’s the only way to get our support in the general (election in November).”
No one at that meeting said that. You are quoting a VERY biased Rick Perry report. Who are they quoting? Like I said that is a lie. And you should be busted for perpetrating it.
It is all well and good that you support Governor Perry (he is a good man)....but don’t quote lies to tear down another candidate. By the way, I’m a Newt supporter and a conservative evangelical. I guarantee that group DID NOT meet for the purpose of picking someone to be the Vice President for Romney....that is a ludicrous lie.

It would be if it was true, but it almost certainly is not. I'd put money on Romney picking a Southerner if I was a gambler (and if Romney gets the nod). Romney needs the south to guarantee a turnout across the south. Otherwise, Romney has no chance in Heck. That is definitely part of his strategy, and probably part of the reason so many Southerners have been encouraged to endorse him early.
Santorum buys Romney nothing. The fact that Santorum is Catholic probably wouldn't help Romney any, either. So, I'd also bet that he picks a Protestant (assuming, again, that Romney gets the nod).

Nah. Santorum seems to be actually trying to stay competitive and isn't pulling any punches against Romney. Someone who was guaranteed the VP spot wouldn't be saying what Santorum is saying.
They’e saying the same thing about Perry...that he’s stumping for Romney...and will throw his weight behind Romney down the road here...with the ide that republicnas have to unite behind Romney to force Obama out.
I heard J.C.Watts talk about this on Fox this a.m., he said not all of them agreed on Santorum, that the story of 150 was false information.
The Romney guy that spoke, that is downright frightening to make such threats. "You'll either work with us now, or work with us later". That is a threat and sounds like mafia, mormon org., or whatever with the money and organization talk. Whoever they are, they are big time and ready to steal this election any way they can.
But of course, Romney is innocent of all charges, even handing out money for votes as was reported yesterday.
