Romney vs. Santorum? FEB 6, 2012 • B BY WILLIAM KRISTOL

This is your moment to vote on a subject that speaks its own importance—who will be the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, the man (if I may quote myself!) “who will save us from the ghastly prospect of an Obama second term, and who will then have the task of beginning to put right our listing ship of state, setting our nation on a course to restored solvency, reinvigorated liberty, and renewed greatness.”

The voters of Iowa and New Hampshire winnowed the field down to four. The voters of South Carolina kept Newt Gingrich alive. The voters of Florida and Nevada reestablished Mitt Romney as the clear frontrunner. Now the race moves (back) to the Midwest.

Obviously, as you make your selection tomorrow, your main consideration must be who you think would be the best president of the United States. But you might also keep this in mind:

If Mitt Romney wins all three contests tomorrow, it's not the end of the race—but it might be the beginning of the end. Winning three out of five (the current situation) is good for a candidate; winning six out of eight is commanding. Are you convinced of the case for Romney? If so, vote for Mitt.

Heres all you need to know about the Santorum “Campaign”

“(Romney supporter Foster)Friess’ chosen outlet — the Red, White and Blue Fund — provided critical support for Santorum as he sought to resuscitate his campaign.

At a time when Santorum could not afford to pay for a single commercial of his own, the fund focused in particular on Minnesota, where the super PAC supporting Romney, Restore Our Future, broadcast a last-minute blitz of ads against him, Kantar Media/CMAG said.”

As far as I know the United States does not legally recognize dual citizenship. Mexico does but I don’t know about other countries. A child born in the U.S. of Mexican parents is considered (wrongly I think!) to be a U.S. citizen, if the family goes back to Mexico they can declare Mexican citizenship for the child also and Mexico recognizes dual citizenship- as far as our country they are just considered a U.S. citizen.

“I think its pretty clear that the loser lawyer Santrorum is being bankrolled by Romney supporters to destroy Gingrich.”

I’ve thought that a lot for awhile now. It just reminds me SO much of ‘08 when Huckabee ran everyone off (including Mittens) and then dropped out immediately after, having done his job of clearing the way for McLame.

I keep praying that Newt can hang in there. He’s absolutely the best one to boldly lead our country home, really shake up DC and break big government’s stranglehold.
