Santorum is a wuss and voted all along with the GOP establishment. Also, he has no ideas about how to handle anything. Maybe he’ll throw his sweater-vest at the mullahs?
That said, I think the GOP establishment would rather have Romney because they think he wouldn’t alienate Dems with his social policies. However, the fact that Santorum was making robo-calls urging Dems to go out and vote for him indicates to me that Santorum doesn’t plan to do anything that would alienate Dems, either.
Mark Levin said Rick Santorum was one of the most conservative senators in the last 50 years.
Here’s proof that Levin is correct:
http://votesmart.org/candidate/evaluations/27054/rick-santorum
“2005 Republican Liberty Caucus – Economic Liberties Score 90%
2004 Republican Liberty Caucus – Positions 87%
2003-2004 Campaign for Working Families – Positions 100%
2003-2004 Concerned Women for America – Positions 100%
2005 American Conservative Union – Positions 92%
2003 Concerned Women for America – Positions 100%
2003 Eagle Forum – Positions 87%
2003 National Journal – Conservative on Economic Policy Score 82%
2003 American Conservative Union – Positions 90%”
More importantly perhaps, is that Rick Santorum is a FIGHTER, who gets things done!
Here’s one of many examples:
“On abortion, he is one of many senators who vote pro-life. The difference is that he is personally responsible for making sure a lot of these votes occur in the first place: He was an architect of the effort to ban partial-birth abortion, a strategy that energized the pro-life movement and allowed it to go on the political offensive.”

The two front runners are Rick and Mitt - time to make a decision.
