I see it this way: it is just like 2008 all over again. ONly this time it's the values voters. And in a way, it is understandable. Like the minorities before barack came on the scene with all HIS hope and change, black people had never felt they were represented in the true halls of power, and not only was Obama going to be there for them, he was going to put our racial past behind us. Only we are more divided than ever.
Santorum voters are just as starved for someone they think will truly represent their morals and values. Only he won't. Even if he wanted to, he won't be able to pull it off - he doesn't have the political acumen.
but more worrisome than anything, SAntorum will divide this country even more, along religious lines. He will make things worse, and christians will be painted once more as the bad guys trying to impose their morality on others.
And add to it what you said about the fiscal side, and it is a debacle waiting to happen.
I read a summation of why santorum's supporters support him: Rick is a good Christian man and he never cheated on his wife. Welcome to 2012...
that we were right about this. In my circle of friends,
I see no one supporting him. Most of my friends like Newt
(my liberal neighbors are supporting Romney/they say the others are too far right)
