Wrong question. The question is what is wrong with conservatives? A large portion of conservatives are married to their pet issues and will not compromise.
Politics is the art of compromise, and if you are not willing to do that then you lose. The logical thing to do right now is to rally behind the conservative candidate who has the best chance of beating Romney in the primaries and Obama in the general...IMHO Newt is that candidate. I do not believe Santorum can win the general, I doubt he can win the nomination, and frankly I don't like most of his record and positions.

Wrong question. The question is what is wrong with conservatives who are married to their pet issues and their pet prejudices in this most dire presidential election?
Answer: They are blinded by their egos and will hand us Obama again.
