Time for the media to go into overdrive and crank out hit pieces on Santorum.
Why would Gingrich endorse Santorum, Gingrich is still in the race.
I see absolutely no harm in Newt telling his supporters to back Rick In Migh— as long as Rick will tell his supporters to back Newt in Arizona.
Why would Newt endorse Santorum?
Santorum needs Newt in the race and Newt needs Santorum.
If one of them drops out, it just makes it easier for Mitt with his dirty campaign tactics to take the remaining POTUS candidate out of the race.
Futhermore, Newt will naturally run strong in some states that Santorum won’t and vice versa.
They both need to stay in the race to keep Mitt from sewing up the nomination.
Should have changed that to “Why should Newt endorse Santorum?” Endorse? For pete’s sakes!
I found this one interesting. It is by a Gingrich team insider, entitled, “Evans: How Gingrich Wins the GOP Nomination”

“................ Mr. Santorum is surging in polls nationally as well as in Michigan.”
This too shall pass.
Some have suggested that if Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum were to drop out of the presidential race, their supporters would combine to provide the votes needed defeat Mitt Romney. Polling suggests this is not necessarily the case.
A recent poll in South Carolina suggests that a significant number of Gingrich supporters would back Romney if Gingrich left the race, or if Santorum left the race a significant number of his supporters would also back Romney.
I understood Gingrich wasn’t actively campaigning in Michigan, so Santorum should have a clear field to attack Romney (with Romney of course attacking back).
I would be surprised if Gingrich or his SuperPac tried to tear Santorum down in Michigan just to give Romney a victory. Remember, Gingrich said after Iowa that his number one goal was to stop Romney any way he could, even if he had to sacrifice himself.
If he started attacking Santorum in states where Gingrich couldn’t win, that would be the opposite of what he said he would do.
We want Newt to win and never drop out because he has a ruthless brilliance the rest don’t have. He would be the best president ever.
Right now, I'm out to stop Romney. He's the problem. He's a fraud, untrustworthy, and dare I say it the most unelectable person running. He lost to McCain. In MICHIGAN, the person to stop Romney is Rick Santorum, who leads him in three different polls. Santorum's campaign see this, and hence he's campaigning here.
