Just because Romney is bad doesn’t mean we should pick Santorum. Santorum has NO chance of being Obama, and we would likely lose both houses of Congress, too.
This is why Daily Kos Leftists are voting for Santorum. He is meat and we are idiots if we nominate him. Women won’t vote for him, and most independents won’t either once they learn about him.
We need someone else, perhaps someone not currently in the race.
Santorum has NO chance of beating Obama.
And you are right about that; Santorum has NO chance of being Obama, he will, however beat the livin’ $hit out of him come November. You say we need someone else——like who? Like Rick Perry, who is GONE, like Herman Cain, who is GONE, like Michelle Bachmann, who is GONE——perhaps you are really just holding out for “Return to Obama”.
I know Rick Santorum, he’s a decent, intelligent, conservative man with some real values. Probably why so many can’t stand him.
Correct you are. As a Pennsylvanian, I can attest to how weak and bland Santorum. He has no real record of accomplishments at all.
When I mentioned that on another thread, someone replied with something like this: "Rick has many accomplishments. For example, he sponsored Senate Bill 800 (or whatever) that limited Syria's right to import US goods."
Well, of what value was that? Who cared? Did it gain him any votes, any admiration? Nope, he lost in a landslide. Enough with the Bob Dole type bland, uninspiring candidates. I'm not a Newt supporter (Cain was my man), but at least Newt has some charisma.
Santorum reminds of a high school hall monitor who is currently running for president of the chess club.
How did this guy win in 2 different Dem congress districts and twice in a Democratic state if he is so terrible. He’s not my ‘guy’, but he’s a heck of a lot better than Romney, and doesn’t have the negatives of Newt.
