With Rick Santorum's stinging charge that voters would be better off re-electing President Obama over Mitt Romney next fall still reverberating throughout the political landscape, political strategist Brad Blakeman found the approach questionable.

"It's not a very good strategy" he explained to Chirs Stirewalt on Power Play Live, and added, "There's certainly no way he can endorse Romney now."

Santorum and Romney have been locked in a bitter battle for months for the GOP nomination to take on President Barack Obama next fall. Santorum's comments followed a week that saw Romney win the Illinois Primary, and secure the endorsement of both former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint.
