At this point Santorum is only in the race so that he can get several cable news 'contributor' gigs on cable tv

Much the same way Herman Cain had from the beginning

We've just cast our early ballots for Newt here in Florida

At this point in time Newt is the only one who can put the brakes on Mitt. Folks in South Carolina need to vote for Newt as it will help keep the rest of the candidates in the race. Sarah Palin is right on target. GO NEWT GO!

Santorum is being pounded on for voting against Right to Work legislation in the 90s. He claimed he did so because Pennsylvania was not a RTW State.

This will hurt him in South Carolina-a RTW State.

It wasn’t that long ago (15 days!) that Santorum effectively won Iowa so I think at this point it is just the usual slowness of reality sinking in. Hopefully he will see the light after he finished 3rd or 4th in SC. But you never know. Is he the guy who said he would pick Newt to be his VP (in on of the earlier debates) or the guy who picked Specter over Toomey?

At this point you need to NOT insult Santorum voters! Shoot, that is mean. Rick has the right reasons for running and would be better president than Gingrich. Since this thread is asking us to drop our candidate and join yours, you should be at the very least kind to us.

Santorum and Perry need to get out of Newt’s way.

Not long ago,I had settled on Rick Santorum. I have since changed my support to Newt. Why? Because he is the only one who can take it to the Zero come debate time. Being a Washington insider isn’t necessarily a bad thing,as many would have us believe. Sometimes to get to know the soul of the pig,you gotta roll around in the mire with them. And I could care less about his personal life. He’s running for POTUS, not sainthood.Don’t get me wrong,I don’t condone adultery,but being faithful to your wife is not a prerequisite to having leadership qualities. If he can get elected and assemble a powerful administration that can reverse much of the damage that’s been done to us as a country,that’s good enough for me. He’s got my vote.
