Rick Santorum cannot win a general election. . Why does anyone in their right mind think he can?
Romney is going to be our nominee and will beat Obama and we will hold him accountable. The stakes are too high. Please let’s deal with it.
Romney is stuck at the same %’s with the base. The two conservatives are splitting votes. Romney probably will be forced upon us since neither conservative can unite bases. I don't see him winning since people despite him.
Mittens has done nothing but dismiss conservatives and TEA party members from the start. He will move way left in the general election because he really is a liberal. If by some odd calculation, he becomes president, there will be no way for any conservative to hold him accountable. We will be nothing to him then because we are nothing to him now.
If Obama white is the nominee, we can look forward to four more years of Obama policy, either from Obama himself or his melanin deficient clone.
There is a reality that you need to realize as well. There is a sizable portion of the conservative community (including myself) who will not vote for Romney, under any circumstances. Romney is not attractive enough to independents to make up for the loss of the Republican core. His general election campaign, IMO, is doomed to defeat. At least with McCain, we could remember the days he was fighting for Reaganism. At best, Mitt Romney was AWOL during the Reagan fights or was opposing Reaganism (if his own words from his campaign with Ted Kennedy can be believed). Lining up behind Mitt Romney is surrendering the soul of the Republican party.
Given Obama's vulnerability on the issues, the last thing we need is a "me-too" candidate like Romney. The Republican candidate to win has to emphasize the differences between himself and Obama as Gingrich or Santorium would do, not blur them like Romney would.
