Okay, let's say you're right. Maybe Santorum really **IS** on third base because of things that weren't mostly his doing. I can accept that; I've been unhappy with the campaign disorganization of many of the major candidates so far except Romney, and I can't accept Romney's flip-flopping on key issues.
Third base is one stop from home plate. Do you have another candidate who is on third base? Or even second?
My understanding is that Republican National Committee rules require candidates to have a plurality in at least five states to have their names placed into nomination. Right now that means only Romney and Santorum qualify. Unless you have a plan for Gingrich to win three more states to add to his wins in Georgia and South Carolina, Gingrich's name can't even be in nomination.
You tell me how to get a candidate other than Romney and Santorum to the five-state threshold and I'll consider someone else as an alternative to Santorum to be a viable alternative to Mitt Romney.
Over on another thread, here...

... I said that after Tuesday it may be time for a united anti-Romney ticket. Based on the RNC rules I think there's no alternative but to have Santorum at the head of the ticket, but I'm very, very, open to your ideas on how to get not only Gingrich but also Perry and Cain (who previously endorsed Gingrich), and possibly Bachmann to have a united anti-Romney front.
I think that's the only way left for conservatives to win this race this year. Otherwise we're going to have a bitter split inside the Republican Party with a good chance of re-electing Obama.
That does not need to happen. We're rapidly throwing away the hard work of 2010, and only Obama can be happy with what is going on now in the Republican race.
Santorum? The same guy who already wants to put Zimmerman in the electric chair? LOL
Just what we need. Another guy in the White House who ignores our rule of law.
I’m beginning to think all politicians are self-serving idiots.
