I was expecting Newt would be the front runner, and supported him as the realistic figure to defeat Mitt, but as Santorum continues to win several states, I believe it is time to switch over, and unite our support for Santorum. Newt may still be selected as Vice President, and I support that too, since his experience in the congress for pulling strings is valuable.

Too late...that can't possible be done for a Santorum win when he is not registered in enough states to even come close to the delegates he needs.

He is not on the ballot in IN He is not on the ballot in DC He is not on the ballot in VA He will not field any delegates in ND,Ill, or TN He is not on the ballot in 20% of OH

He could not even try to compete in the first big state of FL, and has already said as much about CA and NY.

So how does this then happen for him...it doesn't! And for those who think going to a brokered convention is the answer... the GOP have already staged and set that for a Jeb Bush run as well....

...so more than likely Romney will promise Santorum a position before the convention, and deals are usually struck then because most don't want to go to convention,... Santorum won't refuse because that's why Santorum is in this race..to further his political ambitions..so we're stuck once again with Romney if people don't wake up and get behind Newt.
