"I should be president." "No, I should!"
In a heretofore untold story, today we are
learning that President Obama's 2012 re-election prospects dodged a
major bullet last year:
As Mitt Romney struggled in the weeks leading up to the Michigan primary, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum nearly agreed to form a joint “Unity Ticket” to consolidate conservative support and topple Romney. “We were close,” former Representative Bob Walker, a Gingrich ally, says. “Everybody thought there was an opportunity.” “It would have sent shock waves through the establishment and the Romney campaign,” says John Brabender, Santorum’s chief strategist.
But the negotiations collapsed in acrimony because Gingrich and Santorum could not agree on who would get to be president.
Team Unity would have been
unstoppable! Assuming the election was held on a moon base with no blah people, that is ... comedy.
