The hatred for Santorum is pretty pronounced here. Sometimes I am surprised over it.

It's not "hatred". It's weariness. Most of us think Rick Santorum was ill suited to run for the presidency the last time around - even more-so this time.

The guy has never been ready for prime time, and never will be.

Well said. I remember when Santorum ran four years ago, there was an article about how he went home to do his taxes on home computer. I remember at that time being dumbstruck that 1) he would actually do that as a presidential candidate and 2) that he would make that public.

Maybe Santorum thought that would score him points with the "common man" but it simply illustrated just how out of his league he was with regard to running for the presidency. Nothing against average Joe's who do their own taxes on computer. But you don't expect those individuals to be running for chief executive of the United States either.

It's both really....He's from my state so of course most here hate him for what he did in PA. ...he'll never live that one down in this state.

Frankly he's an establishment career politician and will always lean in favor of whatever keeps him in the fishbowl.

I don’t know...winning 11 states is not to shabby. Nobody else but Romney did that. This time we have so many others that he won’t win but I think he is a fine example of how families should be today....yes I know about the DUI the kid got.....I never said perfect families. I just think he would have been a great President but FREEPERS were more for Obama which is just dang weird. I don’t get that at all.
