What job do you think Newt would offer Santorum at the convention to have him support him? I think VP would only work. Your thoughts?
It’s really a tough call. What worries me to have Santorum on ticket is the media will scare the public by making him seem too extreme. He could certainly hold his own in a debate with Biden. But does Newt add to the ticket by picking another conservative? I’m think putting Paul Ryan on ticket is a good move. The whole thing started when Newt “undermined” Ryan’s budget and it would be ironic and another example of the media mischaracterizing the whole thing if Newt joined forces with Ryan. Ryan helps in the North and would be a great guy to pass the torch too after Newt’s 8 years. So Santorum ends up in the cabinet. I just don’t know where. Of course if Romney gets 1,144, all this doesn’t matter. Then it could be the other way. Santorum asks Newt to be on team, but making Newt VP would be wasting his talent. Just make him a top advisor.
