Your calculus is depressing but accurate.

Perry will go back to Texas and serve again or he will retire having served well.
He won’t hang his head, he has done America proud and has been true to himself.

I have heard that as conventional wisdom but the Tea Party supported candidates were more conservative than usual. Can't win something with nothing as they say.
Perhaps 2010 was both an Obama backlash and a conservative resurgence—I would like to think so and see more of it this November.
But as far as proving the original assumption we certainly won't if we nominate Mitt and that's a for sure.

Well, you’ve proved my original post’s aside.

To: Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!
Well this is far from an ideal situation, but I have the impression that Santorum is honest.

A beautiful summary of an ugly picture.
Thanks for posting that. Conservatives -must- understand those facts, or we are back to pre-Goldwater days for at least as long.

I agree.
Some of the stuff being dredged up about Santorum is highly suspect too.
1. trying to take him down because he voted for things that were riders on comprehensive bills, as if he only voted for the problematic issue standing alone
2. trying to take him down with sites clearly coming from a leftist vent, when you look they’ve trashed Republicans to the almost total exclusion of Democrats (senate and governors)

To: Palladin
That’s sad but the way things are shaping up.Gingrich blew it by his no show. Neither he nor Santorum have the GOP mega bucks like a hole Romney.And Paul is the spoiler the Obama machine was hoping for.

LOL that is funny
To: Christie at the beach
Furthermore, mylife, I resent any politician giving up my rights as they think they know what is the best for the masses. This is called liberalism.

Didn't mind the profanity warning on the posting window I see;)

He seems to want to handle it by taking benefits away from the already retired
You mean hes in favor of Social Security reform? Earned my vote!
This may win your vote, but this will lose the election to Obama for sure.
To: Psalm 144
Well said. Add Paul the spoiler that has boots on the ground like Obama and a GOP funding of a used car salesman flip flop Romney and we have one huge mess that the REAL ENEMIES: the MSM,the Obama Machine progressives are LOLing at..
To: Salvation
A M E N! but....either one would do better with Martinez as VP,Palin as energy sec.,and each other serving in the others cabinets.
To: make no mistake
Last I checked, my generation is taking it in the shorts right now.
But hey, who cares? Let’s put the debt up to 150 percent of GDP. Sky’s the limit.

To: Conservativegreatgrandma
Don't know his record; and don't care. The idea that he and Perry are sucking up air time and votes; makes me crazy. And of course, there is Ron Paul; doing same. Pathetic.
Show us, South Carolina; that you are better, smarter than this!
