Romney will say the opposite of what he really thinks if he thinks his audience wants to hear it.

Yes, true, but we should make him say it regardless.

Santorum will need to be at least 20 ahead of Zer0 just to beat the fraud.

One of Santorum’s problems is partisan supporters like you.

It’s not a funny game or a sport challenge which is going on before our eyes.

I supported Gingrich but i wish the best to Santorum and hope that one of them could defeat Obama with strong arguments .

Hope, i am not sure , that Santorum could be tough enough to unmask Obama’s agressive rethoric

All of these polls are BS right now...why can I say that?
Because the MSM hasn’t even allowed the country to know who Santorum is yet. They will fight it, too. They want the country to know who Romney is and to an extent Newt. Santorum has no baggage. Don’t worry. Reagan wasn’t known, either, and at that time, there was no alternative media to inform folks. Santorum will win in a landslide.

national polls do not matter. What matters is how each candidate trends in the battle ground states: Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, and Missouri. The president isn't elected by a national popular vote so national polls are pretty meaningless. Here is a nice little interactive electoral college map to illustrate my point.

One day, Obama pushed a button called “stimulus” and overnight we were in a trillion-dollar debt position.

What's truly astonishing is none of these guys that I can tell (except Paul, who's rightly called a "moonbat" for other reasons) are talking about CUTTING GOVERNMENT even though we are on the precipice of this multi-trillion-dollar debt abyss.

How is this possible? We MUST have tax cuts. But they cannot be sustained without MAJOR CUTS IN GOVERNMENT starting with CUTTING ENORMOUS WASTE, USELESS CABINET DEPARTMENTS (most of them), and A LOT OF "ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS" (NOT defense, a legitimate government activity, even though our whole defense and intelligence capabilities need an overhaul because of 25 years of mismanagement since Reagan).

Santorum’s “balanced-budget” demand is of course suicide because the Leftists will use it as an excuse to raise taxes, the opposite of what needs to happen. There must be pressure to cut taxes and spending and that isn’t done with a balanced budget amendment but with sound fiscal policy. A balanced budget amendment is a bad idea because it doesn’t address our most critical political and economic problem: big government. It simply shifts the burden of the government’s budget mismanagement problem onto the backs of the American people.

Santorum offers a “balanced budget” instead of less government. That’s a terrible choice. How can we not have one guy with his head screwed on straight talking about this stuff? Maybe we really are in the Final Days and God is starting to allow things accordingly.

Series of RCP polls had Romney way up in Michigan on 2/2. Hopefully the HHS fiasco and Santorum’s hat trick wins in three states will change that!

I was expecting Newt would be the front runner, and supported him as the realistic figure to defeat Mitt, but as Santorum continues to win several states, I believe it is time to switch over, and unite our support for Santorum. Newt may still be selected as Vice President, and I support that too, since his experience in the congress for pulling strings is valuable.
