“Let’s watch as they turn their guns on Santorum, and hope either he or Newt survive, because if they don’t, it’s going to be Romney.”
I have, and will to continue to support Newt. However, Santorum is the best candidate on Moral/Social issues, but Newt is the best overall candidate for all three pillars (social, national defense, & fiscal). IF either of these two come out on top I will be estatic...I wished they would team up. Whatever, it is time to see two common enemies - Romney then Obama.
Agreed on all points.
I prefer Newt too, but would enthusiastically support Santorum if he pulls ahead.
I don’t think Gingrich and Santorum are likely to team up. Remember, it was actually Santorum who launched the first personal attack ads in Iowa, and Santorum has kept launching whatever attack ads (attacking Gingrich) his budget permits.
Also, Gingrich and Santorum are far apart on spending and big government issues, with Santorum being very close to the GOP establishment positions in virtually everything except the pro-life area, where he is more conservative than the GOP e. In fact, probably the only position he and Gingrich share is a strong pro-life position, and beyond that, they’re very different. So I don’t see any alliance there!
