The author makes some good points. I’m still hoping for a Gingrich home run on Super Tuesday. To be perfectly frank, I think that Santorum would energize the left that is at present doubting the current administration. The buyer’s remorse will evaporate in an instant if they have someone like Santorum to actively oppose.
I got news for you: The left hates Gingrich and Romney just as much. They may not throw the pink mafia into quite the same hissy fits that Santorum does, but remember that they hated George W. Bush, the moderate, just as much as they did Ronald Reagan, the conservative.
We have to deal with that hatred no matter who is our nominee.

Seven reasons for Rick Santorum
- Who has won the most states without the benefit of their own money, last election's organization or a billionaire casino sugar daddy?
- Who is everybody's second choice when he isn't their first?
- Who can get both the Romney people and the Gingrich people, who hate each other, to vote for him?
- Who has the best record on immigration?
- Who has the best plan for repealing ObamaCare? And is the only GOP candidate who didn't help write or approve legislation which helped spawn this fiasco?
- Who has the best plan for expanding the American economy and strengthening American families?
- Who is the closest thing we have to the "generic Republican" which polls show consistently beating Obama and is most likely to make the election about Obama's sorry record rather than about himself?
