Newt floats possibility of anti-Romney alliance with Santorum

This doesn’t surprise me based on his sincere compliments of Santorum last night and his anger at Romney for his attacks. But it does intrigue me:

Ingraham: Can you see a scenario under which the two of you [Santorum and Gingrich] would align together to try to defeat the establishment candidate, Mitt Romney?

Gingrich: Absolutely. Of course. I mean Rick and I have a 20-year friendship, we are both rebels, we both came into this business as reformers, we both dislike deeply the degree to which the establishment sells out the American people. We both think Washington has to be changed in very fundamental ways, and we have lots of things that fit together. And the thing that’s interesting is if you take the votes, you add to that Perry and Bachmann, you begin to see the size of the conservative vote compared to Romney…if you take, you know, Santorum and Perry and Bachmann and Gingrich you get some sense of what a small minority Romney really represents.

I was actually thinking about this last night as I was listening to Newt’s speech. His anger is apparent for Romney and he would love nothing more than to see Romney go down, even if it mainly helped Santorum.

Also, it bodes well for his conservative credentials to take out the moderate for the conservative cause.

The downside is that this is probably going to get nasty.
