You can hope that it is Romney if you don’t get Santorum, supposedly that is true for most Santorum supporters, but conservatives will still support the freerepublic candidate Newt Gingrich.
Support is one thing, reality and electability is another. While both Santorum and Romney are with 8-9 points of Obama, Gingrich is behind Obama by nearly twice that margin. As Krauthammer has written, a second term Obama will lead to a nation we won’t recognize. In this household its anyone but Obama. Obama must be defeated.
