Santorum is a laughable, pathetic, clumsy, awkward, wholly unpresidential candidate.

Newt is a powerhouse, a force of nature, a breathtakingly charismatic speaker, a brilliant thinker, the best and most qualified candidate the party has had on the ballot since Ronald Reagan.

Anyone still hoping for Santorum to win anything is stabbing a knife into the heart of the conservative movement whether they realize it or not. They make it incredibly more likely that either a moderate who DESPISES conservatives wins the presidency or that Obama wins the presidency and most likely takes the nation off a cliff that it will never recover from short of a collapse on the scale of the Soviet Union.

“Anyone still hoping for Santorum to win anything”

He already has. Won Iowa, Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota.

For a candidate who’s so awkward and unpresidential, he sure seems to be doing much better than Newt.

Santorum has won Iowa*, MN, CO, and MN. He is well ahead in OK, TN, OH, PA. He is leading in AL, WA. Newt is leading in GA. A lot of good the powerhouse label is doing him. Sadly, if Santorum does begin to slip and Newt rise, we’ll end Super Tuesday with Romney half way to the nomination after just over one third of the contests.

Any chance you could turn your apparent hatred of Rick Santorum down a couple of notches already? Geez, the first sentence of your post mirrors something I’d expect to read on the Democratic Underground website. Not to mention, the incessant name-calling is unflattering and I highly doubt you’re winning any new converts with it.

Look, I would be very happy to see Gingrich rise from the ash heap once again and become a formidable contender in this race. I love his take-no-prisoners fighting spirit and his quick-witted intellect. But let’s face reality here... He’s only won ONE state primary out of the 10 primaries/caucuses held so far, even after all the debate coverage and the generous financial backing he’s received from billionaires and SuperPACs. So is that the fault of conservatives, or is it Newt’s own fault for his checkered past and not capitalizing on his opportunities while he had them???
