Also it's 100% unrealistic for a sitting President to accept the Vice Presidency under his successor, regardless of said President's defeat in a primary.

I doubt Santorum would ever support Christie. That's like saying Santorum would've supported Romney.

It's more or less that Santorum supported Christie because he thought that Christie was a better choice than Fletcher, Paul, or Carolla.

That's the point. Santorum is a holdover for my planned 2016 candidate if this game has a sequel one, to try and tear the GOP asunder so my candidate can attempt to fix it.

I don't see Santorum gaining much traction since the Iowa caucus has already happened.

Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee are up for grabs

Bachmann could pick up those rather than Santorum since she is a high profile conservative


Also any new prediction maps?

Defending the hyperpartisan Democrat Attorney General (who actually got disqualified from running for Governor because he was prosecuting Fletcher at the same time) who prosecuted Fletcher is not exactly the most popular stance to take IMO.

While I'd mostly agree with that, I think I have Georgia in the bag at this point. Santorum still has a chance, but I think Brown or Bachmann can better fill the role as the main opponent against Fletcher.

My prediction:

Brown and Paul doing well in NE

Fletcher doing well in South

Bachmann, Santorum and Fletcher doing well in midwest

Bachmann, Carolla and Paul doing well in west

Problem with that is, ex-Senator or not, Santorum has more prestige while Bachman doesn't. There's a reason more senators than Representatives run.
