It’s safe to say Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum don’t get together much. They ran into each other briefly April 14 at the National Rifle Association convention in St. Louis, and before that faced off at the last Republican debate Feb. 22 in Mesa, Ariz. But actually sit down together and talk? Doesn’t happen.

That will change Friday, when they meet — probably just the two of them, face-to-face — for the first time since Santorum pulled out of the Republican presidential race. There will be a lot of press attention, and a lot of speculation that the presumptive nominee and the former rival have made peace. But the bottom line is, they’ll most likely be talking past each other.
