This CBS article really comes close to making the point I have been trying to make for several months now: Santorum is too inflexible and prone to talk off-topic, and Romney is too un-centered and ready to say whatever he thinks his current audience wants to hear.
We aren't going to find a "Rick Romney" or a "Mitt Santorum" in time for the RNC nomination, but is there a possibility that the two together could take the White House in 2012? A one-two ticket that has the best of both worlds?
Looking at the two as a matched ticket, the only thing history tells us is lacking is that neither are from the South. Both have big Midwestern appeal, Romney has proven executive experience, both are "conservative enough" to not lose the Tea Party vote (which McCain proved was very important), Rick has the possibility of the Catholic vote while neither really loses the chance of an evangelical support surge. It's a shame neither served in the military, but I think any serving member or any rational veteran would see the ticket as the best option available.
Am I crazy for thinking this is the only option left for the GOP in '12?
