Rivals Want Promises Before Backing Romney [VIDEO]

But both Santorum and Gingrich are looking for assurances first.
Santorum wants to make sure conservatives' priorities are reflected in Romney's campaign. He is looking for assurances from Romney during a private meeting but isn't expected to offer an immediate endorsement.
And Gingrich wants to repair his reputation within the party, as well as pay down at least $4.5 million in campaign debt.
