If on winning the Republican presidential nomination Mitt Romney needs a vice presidential running mate with to use a New York Times correspondent as a rhetorical punching bag, Rick Santorum could be available.
Santorum on Monday (the Christian Broadcasting Network) he would consider being Mitt Romney's running mate if the frontrunner made the offer.
David Brody: If he for some reason asks you to be the vice presidential candidate on his ticket? I know, after is all said and done. Would you even consider it?
Rick Santorum: Of course. I mean, look. I would do in this race as I always say, this is the most important race in our country's history. I'm going to do everything I can. I'm doing everything I can.
Given how harshly both men have gone after each other, their teaming up seems unlikely. Also, Santorum's willingness to consider, even hypothetically, being Romney's running mate, would seem to raise the question of how seriously voters should take his present criticisms of Romney?
