The problem is, Santorum probably WON'T be properly vetted until after a theoretical win and nomination.
At which point, his record will be thorough exposed by the media, and he will lose to Obama in a landslide. Mississippi and Alabama may well be the only states he takes in the general. That's just how lousy of a candidate Santorum would be when facing the nation as a whole.

If Rick has not been properly vetted, neither has Newt. If Rick would lose in a lanslide to Obama, so would Newt and damn sure Romney would.
I love newt & Rick. I think it is unrealistic to act like Newt is some purist conservative and Rick is not. Both have made mistakes but both have decades of service with overall equally conservative records.
