Sex sells, after all.

negotiations something like : i wanna be president! no! I WANT to be president!

"Roll them two downhill together in a barrel, and there'll always be a son-of-a-bitch on top."

Or delusional politicians. Same difference.

right through them in the election!

Obama would have won by more than he did in 2008... a couple of those states that were close would likely have swung to Obama (like North Carolina)

a near matched set of minute diseased spirits, suffused with delusions of desirability and competence. I'm gonna be smiling for a while over that idea.

All that squabbling over who would be on the top over a very losing ticket. They truly are clueless.

Maybe they will try again in 2016. They still have a couple of years to arm wrestle for the top of the ticket.

Reminds me of my kids when they were little fussing over who would be Han Solo when they played Star Wars.

BTW anyplace where I could send some money in support of that ticket?

it would be interesting to learn what the take on this is over in Freeperville.

Would it have galvanized that portion of the "Anybody But Romney" universe?

The Free Republic thread on this story was a mixed bag. Each candidate has his partisans, who denounce the other candidate for not yielding; Santorum has more supporters than Gingrich.

More prominent than support for either candidate is their disgust with the "GOPe" (the GOP elite or GOP establishment that overrides the conservative base and foists RINOs like McCain and Romney on the party).

There are also some comments pointing out (correctly, IMO) that the splitting of the conservative vote among multiple candidates meant that none of them won. They're concerned about a recurrence of that problem in 2016. As Freeper Lakeshark writes, "If Cruz, Rubio, Paul, and Palin were to run, we'll get Jeb." (We like to deride the Freepers on grammar and spelling, but I'll hold off here. I can't in good conscience criticize the mixing of the subjunctive and indicative moods when so many other people would make the same mistake. On substance, I agree with Lakeshark.) Nobody has any particularly promising plan for agreeing in advance on the one true conservative candidate.

the President would have spanked Santorum/Gingrich or Gingrich/Santorum.

a

newt and ricky destined to .. whatever!

“I was disappointed when Speaker Gingrich ultimately decided against this idea, because it could have changed the outcome of the primary,” Santorum says. “And more importantly, *****it could have changed the outcome of the general election.”****



As IF!!! Repigs are still as delusional as they ever were.

They would have lost even bigger than Rmoney did.

who got the Baby.

Newt's people said the decision on who should be President should be done alphabetically.
Santorum's people said it should be the person who is taller.
Then Newt's people suggested it should go to the elder.
Santorums's people said it should be the person with the least marriages.
Newt's people returned with it should go to the person who doesn't always wear goofy sweater vests.
Then Santorum's people angrily said it should go to the less corpulent candidate.
Then Newt's peeps said it should only go to the candidate who last name isn't synonymous with an obscene sex act.
Santorum's handlers then said Newt was a doodoo poopyhead.

And negotiations broke down after that.

Nailed it - were you in their negotiation room? May I add: Newt's minions thought the leader should be the one whose name, when googled, didn't conjure up a really gross mental image.
