The quote could be applied to any candidate.

Though I disagree, I accept your point of view. You may even be correct, which would explain the contested convention that seems imminent. If all our candidates are so equally tainted as you feel, then Santorum's statement is accurate. Obama will beat Romney in the general election and, as Alexander Hamilton encouraged, we will have an enemy at the head of government whom we can oppose and will not involve our party in his disgrace.
