Geez...just when I was beginning to believe the Gingrich guys when they said that Rick wasn’t electable! ;-) NOT!
I bet that, once the checks clear, a whole bunch of boys and girls will come out of the woodwork and accuse RS of various kinds of sexual misconduct.
High time to make Mittens speak out about the contraceptive issue. We have a right to know what he thinks about it and how Romneycare handles it. Or does it?
Haven’t you heard him from the Romneycare days in those ads?
Can this be a "miracle?" The miracle that people can actually see now for themselves who is actually "better" (in their opinion) and stick to their "convictions?"... w/o being swayed by any kind of media or know-it-alls opinions?...
Well... there is hope! :)... CONGRATULATIONS People!
Politicians are not "saints" and social-conservatives should not look for one (remember Carter?...), but yes, character, convictions and the way they conduct their own lives... should matter to a point!... That is why I forgave Newt or GWB on their past indiscretions... etc etc..
I believe that both Reagan and Clinton were WAY BEHIND Carter and Papa Bush respectively at this point in time in the election cycle. But by how much?
Santorum, at close to just 4 points of Obama seems to be doing better than Reagan and Clinton did ( believe Reagan and Clinton were WAY BEHIND by double digits then ).

Things are not moving in Romney’s direction. His momentum has been halted, first by Gingrich, then by Santorum. He’s looking less and less electable. Maine, Arizona and Michigan will be the next tests.
RINOs: vote for Romney because he can win!
Rasmussen: Romney can’t win. But Santorum can
RINOs: No! Anything but that!!!
If it comes down to a close (and potentialy contested) vote tally this November, it’s game over - the incumbent will be re-elected.
No one should read any "hope" into this polling.
The caucus "wins" could easily be an effort to prop up the establishment's sock puppet "conservative" to split the non-Romney fund raising.
Does he win AZ, MI, TN, etc... ?
Show me a poll where Santorum leads Obama in his home state of PA, and we’ll talk.

Alone among the four Republican hopefuls, Romney was about even with Obama, with 45 percent to the president’s 43 percent, in a head-to-head matchup in a poll of 800 Republicans and Democrats in Pennsylvania. Against Santorum, Obama was slightly ahead, 47 percent to 43 percent, among that group in the poll with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.46 percent.
Lynne Rockwell, 48, a Republican from Bucks County, called Santorum's conservative positions in foreign policy and government spending his strongest selling points.
"I think a lot of people didn't know about him, but now he's getting the traction he needs. We need someone to get rid of Obamacare. My company is going to get rid of health care in 2014 because it's cheaper to pay the penalty and abandon health care than it is to offer it under Obamacare," said Rockwell, a claims adjuster.

There are none, that’s my point.
Such a poll would be an indicator of his real electability, since losing PA would make an Obama win damn near impossible.
