Romney doesn't rule out Santorum as veep
Washington Examiner ^ | 021512 | Byron York

Posted on 02/15/2012 8:01:07 PM PST by Fred

Mitt Romney, whose campaign is preparing a multi-million dollar wave of negative advertising to persuade voters that Rick Santorum should not be president, says he is open to the possibility of choosing Santorum to be his running mate should Romney win the Republican nomination.

Romney appeared on Fox News Wednesday morning and was asked, "You and Rick Santorum, we haven't seen you go head-to-head yet…In the big picture, could you see a scenario where you two team up?"

"Oh, I think it's always possible to have people come together in our party, whether it's Rick and I, or others in the party, who knows?" Romney responded. "It's a little early to tell something like that, but we have similar views on issues -- very different backgrounds."

Get some new AstroTurf to spread !
Recycling these tired old attack lines is really sad .

Wonder if Romney would run as Santorum’s VP?

That is one of his few negatives. They all have negatives, but some worse and more than others.

Still waiting on the Newt supporter to explain why Newt a few month ago spoke good things about Romney and hinted even of picking Romney as his VP, and this was from the CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer... so no, it can't be said that Newt's words were taken out of context.
Might also want to add in their that the very same big money man who is donating money to Newt's campaign has said that he would support Romney if Romney is the GOP nominee.

Well at least we won't have to ‘speculate’ about methods of operation. I do wish Romney was asked if he or anyone with his campaign, has personally had this conversation with Santorum.

How about these problems, Santo even runs commercial bragging about his liberal votes when running for Senate in 2006, ya know, where he LOST by 18 points..

I rest my case, Santorum is a STALKING HORSE .... do not drink the Romney / Santorum kool-aid...you are being played...face facts.... Santorum is one of the good ole boys of the Senate and the establishment.

You don't have a case to rest, and there are no facts for us to face. It's time for you to get real and quit being absurd. You are nothing but a propagandist when you try to peddle this silliness. Santorum dropping out helps Romney - it doesn't hurt him, as data after data (and common sense) proves. You can't keep up this narrative because it has no basis in fact. The latest data showing this is from Rasmussen http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2846855/posts : Perhaps more tellingly, Santorum now trounces Romney 55% to 34% in a one-on-one matchup among likely GOP primary voters. This is the first time any challenger has led Romney nationally in a head-to-head match-up. Santorum also leads Romney head-to-head in Michigan. Nationally, Romney still wins 47% to 38% paired against Gingrich and 47% to 42% running against only Paul.

And it is hypocritical:

Gingrich says Romney on VP list

It's time to knock it off.

Well, you had better rest it for a long time, Fred.
Santorum will not pick Romney for VP or anything else.

Romney, with a tight leash, would be a good chief-of-staff to a conservative president.

Not a good press secretary, though.

That’s not a response to what I said or to the information I posted.

Again, you have no case to rest.

Freddy is sadly obvious .
Have you noticed these so called Newt supporters are really doing the dirty stealth work for Romney ?
Romney has financed a huge AstroTurf team and Rick S is the real threat .
Newt is loony a threat anymore .
