So you honestly believe Rick Santorum can beat Obama...? I just don’t see him having any popular support in the general election. Obama will coast to victory. I wish I was as optimistic as some on this site. :-|

Newt or Rick can easily beat Obama as long as they don’t get off message — jobs, economy, debt, foreign policy, government intervention, government waste, broken promises, obscructionist Senate, Constitution trampling, rinse and repeat.

These are things that energize conservatives and a large number of independents.

Stay far, far away from any and all social issues. It is the only thing that ever energizes the Democrat base and turns many independents away.

There is a reason Obama is declaring war on the Catholic Church. He is trying to change the debate to motivate his base. Ever since the debate changed he began rising in the polls. If the Republicans can just stay on msg they can win.

As soon as they stray, they hand the election to the Marxist in Chief.

I am excited to see that Santorum seems to be kicking Romney’s a$$, but I don’t believe that either Santorum or Romney can win against Obama.

I support Newt and I believe that if he were to win the presidency, he would be our best bet for turning our country around, however, I am no longer convinced that this country cares about it’s survival.....

I know that I am being pessimistic, but I find myself wondering less about what next November will look like, instead, I wonder what she will look like 4 years later.

None of them generate much excitement overall, but Santorum does energize the conservative base more than the others.

It appears Gingrich has run his course and is losing relevancy, except to draw support from Santorum. Plus, Newt is double-digits behind Obama in every swing state. His negatives are way too high to be competitive.

I'm asking the same question, ruschpa. Santorum couldn't beat Hillary in NY for the Senate seat and freepers think he can beat Obama?
I must be living in la la land because there is no way Santorum could or would win.........NEVER!
WAKE UP OHIOANS and those in the Tea Party, we don't have a true conservative in this race.

18% unemployment

Double the national debt in three years.

Loved by Chaves, Ortega and Castro, Hated by Sarkosy, Merkel and Cameron.

Presided over Muslim brotherhood takeover of Egypt.

He should loose to a can of orage juice, but the things that make him the greatest failure in American presidential history, will only boost his standing among the rabid left that control the media in this country. One thing’s for sure though, a candidate hated by conservatives almost as much as Obama has zero chance. So, we better hope Rick gets it and can win inspite of the slobbering Obama media.
