Santorum has not stunned me with his charisma, granted, but he’s a solid conservative, and is immune to Obama’s class warfare attack strategy (just mentally compare his vulnerability vs. Romney or even Newt...) Staunchly pro-life and family values will play big in flyover country where guys with a past like Newts are snickered about and guys like Romney are spotted as phonies a mile away.
I sure like what I’ve heard from Santorum lately. For sure he would be a contrast against Obama, not just “Obama-lite”.
He is NOT a solid fiscal, small-government conservative.
Yes, he is socially conservative and would like to do away with contraceptives.
He is one of those compasionate conservatives. Remember George Bush?

My sentiments exactly!
How about this ticket, Bigbob:
Santorum - pres - appoints judiciary
Gingrich - vp - Senator would love Gingrich presiding there
Romney - car czar - only czar position not eliminated and Romney applies all the knowledge he gained at Bain Capital of how to save failing companies to the auto industry.
I would be happy if Rick and Newt came to an agreement that they would ally against Mitt, with whichever had the lower delegate count at the convention tossing his delegates to the higher candidate in exchange for becoming the VP on the ticket.
I’m really hoping this whole “style over substance” problem we have in America will start to turn around.
We have a used car salesman in the White House - and an incompetent one at that.
Looking for charisma, flash, and bling has gotten this country into alot of trouble.

I got the same vibe, a real positive vibe, listening to his Iowa acceptance speech at the beginning of January.
None of the candidates are perfect but Santorum is best positioned to really take on Obama and make it about the issues and about freedom vs big govt and not his personal life (though the liberals will try).
