I think Rick Santorum would be a great nominee. Honest, smart, and a real fighter.

Of course he is. But you must remember that there's a sizable contingent of closet abortion/sodomy huggers here on FR who hate Santorum every bit as much as the left does.

Some people are concerned that Santorum might have an optics problem, that liberals could too easily make it look like he is trying to baptize government into the church, which of course he would not do (any more than he did in Congress).

But if Gingrich can’t squeak it, it looks like Santorum is the only other who makes sense, and he will just have to deal with the unfair liberal optics as they come.

Sadly these comments seem very true:

"The flip-flopping Massachusetts liberal has had a MASSIVE and vile attack campaign aimed at Santorum in Illinois. I can only hope that anyone who has gotten the barrage of daily robo hate calls has been turned off by the source of them."

Sort of like what is going on here at Free Republic.

Once they have been Newtered they are not much good for anything productive anyway.

I am seeing that there are some real haters here. Such a shame, instead of helping us get a conservative in, they help the left pile on.
