Is that about right, or is there some other angle I'm missing?
“If I read this right, Ann doesn’t support Santorum because, although he has conservative positions, he doesn’t know how to articulate them but is willing to support Romney, who has no conservative positions to articulate.

Actually to put her nonsense on a stick and wave it around, she actually has said on more than one occasion that Bishop Willard it ‘the most conservative candidate in the race’. His record of governance as a state governor is probably to the left of Bill Clinton’s. I intend a side by side comparison one of these days.
You're assuming Romney's past means he "has no conservative positions." Ann doesn't agree. Rightly or wrongly, she's ignoring that past and concentrating on what he says now, which, rightly or wrongly, she finds conservative enough for her.
She's assuming Romney will articulate those positions better than Santorum and won't crack up. She may be wrong about that too, where Romney is concerned, but so far it looks like she's right about Santorum. You could say that Ann sees Santorum's gaffes, but doesn't see Romney's, but everyone's point of view involves blindspots of one sort or another.
