Santorum is not a great choice against 0.

This seems to support the idea of a brokered convention.

Santorum has not stunned me with his charisma, granted, but he’s a solid conservative, and is immune to Obama’s class warfare attack strategy (just mentally compare his vulnerability vs. Romney or even Newt...) Staunchly pro-life and family values will play big in flyover country where guys with a past like Newts are snickered about and guys like Romney are spotted as phonies a mile away.

I sure like what I’ve heard from Santorum lately. For sure he would be a contrast against Obama, not just “Obama-lite”.

You don’t think a conservative can beat the prince?

All you Newt supporters ever talked about was his “superior debating skills” He forgot to bring those superior debating skills in the two Florida debates and that has cost him dearly.

Congrats to Santorum.

Yeah, you're right. I guess we should fall in line behind your girl Ann Coulter. Mittens all the way, right?

None of the four are “great” choices against 0. But with Gingrich and Romney fading in polls vs Obama, what`s left? Paul? No thanks.

Funny. At the very beginning of this process, the media was saying "anyone can beat Obama". Cain, Bachman, etc. included. Now they push just Mitt & Newt as being the only ones to beat Obama.
The voters aren't stupid, and they're now seeing beyond the money and lies by voting real conservatism.

Exactly. They aren't looking at his record - just listening to his lies about Newt to make himself appear as a better candidate. The media/barry know his record and his own supporters don't.

Agreed, sigh... oh well, at least a brokered convention is better than a guaranteed Romney win.

and any night that is bad for Romney is good for conservatives.

I just wish Santorum had a time machine and could go back...
-and reverse his constant support for the worst RINO ever: Arlan Specter
-and reverse his knife in the back to the Tea party
-and reverse his support (along with 30 of the most putrid Dems ever, including (Boxer Clinton Corzine Daschle Dayton Kennedy Kerry Leahy Murray Reid Wellstone) for forcing all states to give the vote to convicted felons,
-and reverse his support for NOT hiring more illegal alien investigators (and here)
-and reverse his siding with the Dems, and Olympia Snowe, and other RINO's so, so often!

I think that just might make Rick a CINO.

Lots of talk and platitudes, but no demonstrated history of accomplishments for Conservatives

If I really, really, had to, I could hold my nose and vote for Rick, but would rather have someone who has proven he KNOWS how to 'herd cats' in congress and has already accomplished big things for the Conservative cause.

Obama is a pit bull. Santorum is a poodle, Romney a Cocker Spaniel and Gingrich a fellow pit bull. Now which dog do you take to the fight?

Funny Santorum is the only one trending to be able to beat Obozo.

Gingrich and Paul are trending in the wrong direction and face double digit losses in a race against Obozo.

Romney loses as well.

You couldn’t be more wrong...he’s the only one to show SHARP CONTRAST to O’Jackass.

I agree Santorum would be dead meat against O, so I’d love a brokered convention.

A used car salesman is a good choice against obama. In my book, he'd have more credibility.

I'd vote for (almost) anyone opposed to obama.
