You are obviously correct. With Santorum as the nominee we would lose in a landslide, lose the House, fail to regain the Senate and allow Hussein a massive mandate that this country would not likely recover from in our lifetimes.
No matter what Rick says now, he will be baited into talking about birth control, pornography, etc. He can't help himself. That is what he is known for. He's a social crusader and he will end up talking about why he thinks birth control is bad, why we need to do something about pornography, why women might be better off at home having lots of kids. He may or may not be right on all his social positions, but they are political LOSERS. With Santorum as the nominee, the election would be a referendum on Rick's moral beliefs instead of on Obama's economic failure as President. Instead of focusing on issues that might make Hussein's re-election dicey - like the debt, failed stimulus, etc, we'd be talking about Santorum's moral opposition to rubbers and skin flicks. Every moment spent talking about contraception, pornography, etc, is a win for this White House and the Democratic party. These battles have been fought and mostly lost a long time ago. The public is not interested in being preached to by Rick Santorum about the evil's of birth control, gambling, pornography, etc.
Wow Hildy, you seem to have recruited the Anti Palin crowd, but nothing but the best, right?
That means, inevitably, he will end up defending himself to a hostile press when he should be attacking the obscene record of the Obama regime. But Rick would rather bloviate about himself and how righteous his positions are, than attack the enemy. Game set and match to Obama in November.
