Like I have been saying for days the best thing that ever happened to Romney was the Santorum surge.
Santorum doesn’t stand a chance of beating Romney, but will split off enough conservative from Gingrich to hand the nomination to Romney.
Well Newt sure did take votes away from Santorum in Iowa. I find it hilarious that you think Santorum should drop out when he has a clear win and Newt had a disastrous finish. I don't care which 3 wins but why you always have to bash Santorum is a sad commentary on you.
Exactly, been saying it as well.
Looking at the numbers here, if it wasn’t for the ‘Santorum surge’, Newt would still be statistically tied with Romney here.
I agree. Santorum has no chance against Romney, but women are apparently voting for him because they think he’s a “nice young man.” He’s sort of priggish and squeaky clean, and I guess that appeals to some people, regardless of his ideas or lack of them. Although I think his call to take benefits away from Social Security recipients and make it and Medicare means-based (which would turn them into redistributionist welfare plans rather than, respectively, neutral pension and insurance plans) is probably not going to fly in Florida.
However, Santorum’s parents live here in Florida, and all of a sudden the press been pitching the “Santorum is nearly a native son” thing down here. He won in Iowa by moving there and having lived there for nearly a year, and by being next in line when Romney’s ads had destroyed Gingrich.
I wish people would look at ideas, but that seems to be the last thing on anybody’s list.
Rick Santorum is the last hope for the republic.
Dark times ahead with the re-election of Obama and the ultimate destruction of the GOP.
The only person that can stop Mitt is Newt and he really needs to win SC. If he does he should take Fl.
Insert any name into Candidate B's and Candidate C's slot and you have the mantra for the last year on FR.
