    Romney-Paul Tag Team

    I take it no one saw the debate and the way Romney and Paul tag-teamed Santorum.

    "You have to ask Congressman Paul and Governor Romney what they've got going together," Santorum told reporters in the spin room in Mesa, Arizona. "Their commercials look a lot alike and so do their attacks."

    Santorum's top strategist John Brabender went even further, charging that the two men had "joined forces" and were coordinating attacks against his man

    "Clearly there's a tag team strategy between Ron Paul and Mitt Romney. For all I know, Mitt Romney might be considering Ron Paul as his running mate. Clearly there is now an alliance between those two and you saw that certainly in the debate."
    When Ron Paul's name was announced at the start of the debate, Romney got giddy. Something was up...

    Thoughts? A Romney-Paul ticket would probably be silly but is an endorsement in the works?

    No, they just both have a shared interest in attacking Santorum's claims of being a "true conservative".

      No, I can easily see a Romney-Paul ticket.

        No, there's not a Romney-Paul ticket. I just think Paul knows that he isn't going to win, and wants to be Romney's wingman because Romney's the best of the other three. Paul has been tag teaming with Romney since New Hampshire.

          Joe Scarborough has been talking about this for a few days. Ron Paul reportedly almost never attacks Romney and all of his attack ads have been aimed instead at the flavor of the month "not Romney". I imagine either 1) Paul has worked out some deal with Romney where he or his son get some sort of choice seat in the Romney administration or 2) Paul hopes if he politically kills all the other not Romneys they'll eventually have to make him the not Romney. Fat chance of either really.

            But Paul did the same thing to Perry, to black Walnut, to Gingrich, and now to "Frothy" Santorum.

              Maybe Paul wants influence in the convention or in the administration?

                I also get tired of Ron Paul gibbering nonsense about the gold standard while "conservatives" claim we should all dump T-bills because, you know, the evil communist dictator of America is supposedly going to cause hyper inflation. Want to know what investment beat gold last year? T-bills.

                  This. Both have the same loathing of social con aspect being the emphasis of the party.

                    Of course he did. How does that contradict what I said?

                      True... Paul is the only not-Romney who hasn't tried to out-social-conservative Romney.

                        Which makes sense, as he doesn't have to. Nobody doubts he's out there in anti-gay, anti-abortion territory.

                          That's not Paul's schtick though. He may be any of those things, but he doesn't think the federal government needs be involved, which social conservatives aren't a fan of.

                          Another rumor is that Romney may be interested in RAND Paul for VP... so may as well get on good side to push that choice.

                            Nothing to do with the thread but I usually wear contacts but the glasses I have are the same frames that Santorum wears:

                              I seriously doubt it. Conventional wisdom is that the short list is Marco Rubio, Bob McDonnell and Chris Christie in that order of likelihood.
