I love Newt... but Santorum is more likable... and will make us competitive in the rust belt.
He is the most electable candidate... so you’re sounding like sour grapes here.
I hope not, all present need arrested
He apparently doesn’t need them.
If you’re gonna treat FR like a chatroom, please limit your every thought to the chat forum.
I wouldn’t be bragging too much about Fred Thompson’s support. He’s joined team Soros in pimping the national popular vote.

Is this one an endorsement?
Glenn Beck, November 2011, “If there is one guy out there that is the next George Washington, the only guy that I could think of is Rick Santorum. I would ask that you would take a look at him.”
Have you considered building up Newt’s merits instead? I mean he is a good guy and you must have some good reasons for supporting him. Think about trying to keep your enthusiasm up by posting those reasons.
I'll take those two any day over the others (besides Ollie North) you mentioned.
Levin and Malkin stuck their reputations out there when Santorum was given up for dead. You will now see the Bandwagon effect of many more.
No doubt that Reagan didn’t have much support from the Republican Establishment either. Movement Conservatives never do. They, of course, get that support (retroactively) only after they win (and the RINOs need jobs).
The General Electorate is not looking for a culture warrior as much as most conservatives would like to think.
Don’t know, don’t care. I don’t need to be led by the nose.
Not sure about former colleagues endorsing Santorum. Maybe about the same amount as Newt’s former colleagues endorsing him. I think they all want to distance themselves until a strong front-runner appears.
As in the (democrat party) Senate?
Who do you support, for full disclosure please.
While I like Santorum, how and why did he lose his last re-election bid by the highest % in history (19)? If his own state won’t vote for him, why would the rest of the country?
What am I missing here?
