You are full of it. Really full of it. I heard the clip and he never mentioned Romney.

Newt also said the same except he said “he doubted Romney would ask him”.

Some folks around here are as guilty as the left in distorting what was actually said. And for no reason at all because Newt is not going to win anything.

Okay. Fine. You are literally correct. Rick Santorum made no specific reference to Mitt Romney when he said he would accept the VP slot on a republican ticket. But let's take a realistic look at who he might have been thinking about when he made his comments.

You, yourself have stated that "Newt is not going to win anything", so obviously Mr. Santorum would not have been seriously thinking about being Newt Gingrich's VP pick. So, with Mr. Gingrich out of the picture, who other than Romney has a realistic chance of winning the republican presidential nomination?

Mr. Santorum could win it himself I suppose, but then he would not need to worry about being the VP on someone else's ticket, would he? Okay. NOt Gingrich. Not Santorum himself. Who else, other than Romney, might Mr. Santorum have been thinking about when he said he'd accept an offer to be VP on a republican ticket? Ron Paul?

I don't think so. Sometimes it's not too hard to figure out what someone is saying, even if they decide not to come right out and say it. Deciding not to specifically mention Romney's name in his statement may seem to give Santorum some measure of 'plausible deniability', but it defies logic to try to claim he wasn't referring to Romney when he made the statement.
