The top donor to a pro-Rick Santorum super-PAC said that if Mitt Romney won the Republican presidential nomination, he would be unlikely to pick Santorum as his vice presidential running mate.

"Well I doubt Mitt Romney would ask him," billionaire Foster Friess, the top donor to the Red, White, and Blue Fund super-PAC said on Fox Business Network Tuesday night. "I know Rick likes Mitt and respects him but he just doesn’t like his policies in terms of Obamacare and cap and trade."

Friess's comments came the same day that Romney dominated a trio of primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Santorum had been campaigning mostly Wisconsin recently and stressed that in light of low polling in the state, his campaign would bounce back with a decisive win in the Pennsylvania primary, Santorum's home state.

But some observers say that Santorum should probably drop out of the race and not risk a loss in Pennsylvania. Political strategists have said that Romney has a good chance of winning the state once he throws more of his resources there. Friess refused to weigh in on whether a loss in Pennsylvania would be bad for Santorum.

"Remember the famous Bible verse, don't rush to meet that what you would most avoid so we will wait until we get to Pennsylvania," Friess said.

In the same interview, Friess also said he had no plans to stop donating to Santorum's cause. Although most of his funding has gone to Red, White, and Blue Fund, Friess recently helped Santorum directly by buying radio and newspaper advertisements in support of the former Pennsylvania senator in Wisconsin.

"Absolutely not. I have a lot of faith, not so much Rick Santorum, I faith in him, but I have faith in our country and that’s what we are all about," Friess said. "And he’s not out yet. This will be an important win for Romney, for Mitt if it occurs, but there’s Pennsylvania ahead and that shows Rick is six percentage points ahead there in a major poll."
