nobody has ever spent five seconds attacking Santorum or his record in these debates.. awful easy to look good in a debate where nobody but you does the attacking because you are no threat to win another primary... if Gingrich drops out it’s because Romney ran the board on the delegate count which puts Santorum where?.. oblivion where he is now

the fact is it’s either Gingrich or Romney this election

Santorum is just waiting on a shoestring budget hoping for a Newt implosion. If you add Santorum's numbers with Newt's, the anti Romney wins easy. If Santorum would just take the hit for the team, Newt would walk through this. As long as Paul and Santorum muddy things up, we will end up with a 30% candidate going up against the $billion dollar machine. I smell another Bob Dole/McCain establishment pinata being anointed.

I've been saying this for years, that we will never get a candidate for us until we take over the party. We have the Christian vote, the gun vote, the pro life vote, low tax vote, border fence vote, but we still can't even cut funding to PBS after 40 years. I bet we have funded a border fence 13 times and still no fence. The same people that gave us McCain,...." The Maverick", last time won't even let a Tea Party person run a committee. It's easier to take a party over than to form a 3rd party and win, but it may be time to do just that. All my life I have watched the "Rockefeller" Republicans run the party. Give me a tax cut and to hell with the rest.

Where's the Tea Party? Why aren't we occupying anything? The world thinks the Tea Party has gone home. A 3rd party would almost assuredly give it to Obama, but so would Romney. Newt would have a good chance, even Santorum might pull it out. The Romneybots have just shown themselves to us by attacking Newt in a coordinated way this week. The fear of Newt was glaring in their eyes because they know he can't be controlled. We might finally get of the fence on some basic things we have wanted for decades. Discipline the judges, English official language, flat tax, and about 100 other things that Newt has written and spoke of for years. All things he says have been focus group tested so he can appeal to people. That's what he did with the Contract for America. Asked what people wanted and took the top 10 things and gave it to them in the first 100 days. Romney wouldn't do any of it. He's against guns and votes for abortion and is the architect of Obama Care. How can we even call him a Republican? He wants to seem "reasonable", not "controversial" and "extreme" That's just code for we won't rock the boat. Well, the boat is sinking.
