Romney calls Santorum


BREAKING: Romney calls Santorum

(CNN) – Mitt Romney made a "polite" phone call Thursday to rival Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum to "concede victory" in Iowa, according to Santorum's spokesman Hogan Gidley.

But Romney's team objected, saying his campaign didn't concede.

“He just called him. They talked, and he recognized his efforts," a top campaign aide told CNN.

Was Romney trying to consolidate his support? Santorum must know he can't win, but a drop out here -- and the requisite endorsement of Romney--could help Mitthew close the door on a second Gingrich insurgency.

Secretary Santorum...maybe VP Santorum? Rick does have the Evangelical nod...

The designated official spokesperson, or a "member of the team" who dare not speak his name?
