I agree. I cannot support her man for Pres, but shes correct about Santorum.
Her last 2 choices were liberals. (including Romney) don’t think much of her opinion on anything...
Agree. Santorum would be an utter disaster of a general election candidate. The man would manage to talk his way into a 10-20 point landslide defeat that would take our candidates down across the nation. Rick can't help it, he is not disciplined and, at heart, really WANTS to talk about these social issues. He will be so easily baited into yakking about condoms and porn that he will alienate nearly every moderate, indie and young(er) voter(s) who will hear our candidates out on the economy, debt, etc, but will not vote for someone who sounds like they are preaching and judging people's personal lives.
Sadly, I've come to believe that some segment of the socon voter block almost want to lose. I now suspect many want to nominate a "righteous" guy like Santorum so that when he gets crushed it will be the proof they are looking for that they've been right all along and the nation really is done for and going to hell in a handbasket.
Newt may not be the best candidate to ever come along, but he at least has a chance to really change the dynamic and some shot at winning a general election. Odds are good Romney would simply lose narrowly, but we might not get wiped out in races across then nation because of him. Santorum, on the other hand, is a ridiculous candidate only a party determined to commit political suicide would nominate. Rick would lose so badly he'd deliver Obama and the Democrats a nightmare mandate they really would use to "fundamentally transform" America.
