POLITICS MAKES STRANGE BEDFELLOWS: MITT, THE MAVERICK AND RICK

IN 2008, WHEN THE CONTEST WAS MITT VERSUS MCCAIN, SANTORUM ENDORSED MITT OVER MCCAIN.

NOW, MCCAIN IS ENDORSING MITT OVER RICK.

IS IT MERELY PERSONAL, OR DOES IT REFLECT THAT MITT REALLY IS A GOOD CONSENSUS CANDIDATE FOR THE PARTY?

BOTH.

SEVERAL TICKETS COME TO MIND THAT MIND BIND THE DIVIDE:

MITT-RUBIO OR MITT-JINDAL OR MITT-DEMINT OR MITT-RYAN OR MITT-PERRY OR EVEN A MITT-SANTORUM TICKET - IF RICK DOESN'T GO OVERBOARD IN HIS ATTACKS - (LIKE NEWTRON BOMB GINGRICH!).
