A vote for Santorum is a vote for Romney.

If we get stuck with Romney, it will be a gift from Santorum.

These memes on Santorum are old and tired. He will have nothing to do with getting Mittens elected. Mittens massive money and support from the Elitists/MSM is why he is ahead in the polls (if the polls are to be believed). Simple as that.

I see math, statistics, and social demographics must not have been your strong point in school.

So, if the primary results end up as the polls have been indicating for the last few days where Romney is in the mid-40’s and the sum of Newt and Santorum’s numbers don’t exceed Mitt’s, what will your excuse be next? Will it be to go back and hammer Bachmann and Cain like you were doing 24/7? Perhaps you’ll blame Perry for not coming back with a second endorsement in FL. It’s always someone else’s fault with you, isn’t it?

So let me get this straight:
Last month, it was Romney 40%, Newt: 27%, Santorum: 12%

Then after the Newt surge:
Newt: 42%, Romney: 30%, Santorum 12%

Then after the Romney surge:
Romney: 44% Newt: 31%, Santorum: 12%

Santorum has basically been at the same 12% for the last 3 weeks regardless of who has surged. His 12% obviously had no direct impact on Newt’s ability to win FL when Newt had 40%+ by virtue of leading Seniors and Hispanics in the state, which make up a much larger base than Santorum’s Evangelical support. Yet, when Newt started to lose his lead to Romney among Seniors and Hispanics, you want to go put the blame on Santorum even though Santorum’s support remains virtually unchanged? Where I’m from, we call that a cop out.

I know things like facts and numbers are hard things to comprehend for people like yourself, but take a moment to figure it out and do the math. If Newt wins both Seniors and Hispanics, he’d be in the driver’s seat in FL, regardless of whether Santorum got 12% or even 20%. Newt did NOT lose his lead to Santorum voters, he lost his lead to Romney voters and vice-versa.

If Newt falls short tomorrow in FL it’s because of what I just listed above, not because of Santorum. To use Santorum as a scaptegoat is despicable and dishonest.

That’s a fact. Anyone voting for Santorum, especially in Florida, is voting for Romney and it will not be forgotten here.
