Video: Is Wisconsin Santorum?s last change?

>>> the wisconsin primary is tuesday. and analysts say it is shaping up to be santorum 's last stand, possibly. within the last 24 hours , the campaign has more than doubled its ad buy in wisconsin and "the new york times" points out, a more subdued santorum is on the scene. they write, quote, rick santorum has eased up on using frass like worst republican in the country when tearing into mitt romney . now mr. romney is uniquely disqualified as mr. santorum has mildly put it to make the argument for conservatives that mr. obama 's health care plan should be repealed. let's bring in " washington post " political reporter, good to see you. let me start with this news that ch chuck todd has been able to bring in. that there was a meeting between newt gingrich and mitt romney on saturday. gingrich says he made no deal to end his bid for the gop nomination. what do you know about this meeting?

>> this is obviously just coming in. chuck todd is confirming it. it is suggested to me that there is an end game at work here even though newt gingrich has scaled back his campaign and said he will fight this to the bitter end. you do see a realization that this is coming to an en. he was at the rnc yesterday meeting with those folks, at the delegate map for himself. even with romney meeting, he was with leaders here and all of these endorsements are coming out. i think there is increased conversation between both of these camps, even talking to santorum folk. they are in touch with the romney campaign and the gingrich campaign. i think this is the end game playing out.

>> we know if newt gingrich is meeting with mitt romney and the meeting happened, there is more a, a substantive conversation than hey, what's going on with you. we've talked with about the alleged bromanc he. if there is some wheeling and dealing, what would newt gingrich bring to the table for mitt romney ?

>> he is certainly going to bring some delegates. at this point he doesn't have that many. i think he has about 150, almost 200 delegates. if it comes a point where mitt romney isn't able to get to that 1144 number, then gingrich can come to play and say, listen, i want this to be in the republican party platform. i want to have a speaking role. a prime time speaking role. that's what he brings to the table. i think he has to be careful here. he is setting himself up to be a spoiler. so he has to figure out, does he want to be a spoiler or a statesman in his party?

>> let me ask you this. with that said, the new york time has this article on santorum being more subdued. might gingrich serve as some sort of kryptonite?

>> in some ways, that probably could happen. they do have this odd relationship where they're sort of frenemies. this game of stopping mitt romney . i think santorum , he can be subdued one day and he can be a very strident in his language the next. i think that article says that he was very critical of mitt romney , calling him, saying that he was the worst person to go up against obama in his kind of modified that language a little bit. i think santorum has gone back and forth in his language and about mitt romney and about obama . i think we're in a situation where santorum 's back is up against the wall. this wisconsin primary . then it goes to pennsylvania. we've got to see if this will be his last dance.

>> he is doubling his ad buying. we know that his campaign says the demographics of pennsylvania, we're not talk b the urban areas but the more blue collar , white voters who are very conservative these days in that state, might find him more appealing than they did once upon a time . let me put out these endorse. s. marco rubio and former remember that 41 have now officially he said dorised mitt romney . at this point, as it was appointments out, where else would he go? with the bush family , at least, barbara and the former president, they've already given him love for lack of a better description. so this does makes it formal.

>> that's right. and romney actually has a pretty go good relationship with bush senior . so this is not unexpected. i will say the rubio endorsement was very exuberant and that is very effective, more effective than jeb bush 's. you saw the somewhat tepid endorsement, too. in that way, it is something that romney welcomes and he feels like he can use it to turn around his fornts with la teen over voters.

>> no big confetti flying from the sky on any of these cases but good news for him. thank you very much. good to see you.
