I think those who say Santorum can’t beat Obama are flat wrong.

If grassroots conservatives get behind Santorum in a big way, and if the GOP runs a halfway intelligent campaign (that’s a big “if”), then Santorum can win the general election.

Obama is capped at 47%-48% and that's where he will stay regardless of the nominee.

The Democrats are in full panic mode because I bet their internal polling doesn't even show Obama at a 40%.

Santorum did better than Romney against Obama on both of our weekend polls. At least for the moment Mitt’s electability edge is gone

And if you factor in the “have to fib so they won’t think I’m racist” self hating whites and the “gotta lie and tell em’ I like the sorry ass brother” African Americans, his approves would be in the low thirties.

“ghettobama back down to 44% at gallup.”

Can anyone explain the Rasmussen poll showing steady upward trend for Obozo? He is only -13 now, the best he has been in a year.

If America is stupid enough to put this thug back in office, then we deserve what we get. I actually see the only hope is taking control of both houses of Congress and can slow down his leftist agenda. If he has the Senate still, then he can still get his judges in. If we controlled the Senate, maybe keep out a few of his bad lib judges. But, I see no RINO that can beat him. They have all shot each other so full of holes, no independents want to vote for them.

If this is true at this time in the campaign, Barry the Kenyan Guy might want to tell his bundlers that he’s going to need two billion bucks. I don’t think one billion will get the job done for him this time.

Obama at 47%? They wish, He cannot fill a fire station. Has to have astro turf. If he had that kind of support the MSM would be showing huge crowds to see him speak.

Here’s an instructive little factoid:

In his 1992 house race, in a district with a 3 to 1 democRat registration advantage, Santorum beat his opponent 61% to 38%.

Why is the RCP average going down for Santorum in Michigan? +8 last week, +6 over the weekend and +5 today. :-(

Yep. I’ve been preaching this for a few weeks. I am not a Santorum guy in this process, but I like him a heck a lot. People talk about his inability to win independents. He won two different House districts and one Senate seat twice, all in Democrat majority areas. The guy can win over Democrats and independents. He is no one trick pony social conservative. I am not 100% sold on him yet, but he’s been really impressing me the past few weeks...especially since he undressed Romney and healthcare in the last FL debate.
