Rick Santorum is not the polished politician that Romney is, he is not smooth and is not as well spoken as Newt, but, he is probably a better conservative than either of the others.
I'm not sure how much I care any more. It is a shame our primary has to go on so long. It would have been better to select a candidate behind closed doors in some smoke filled room and then let us all get behind him. No matter who wins now we will be split. The truth is that all of the candidates would be wildly better than Obama but the party is now split. We will not all get behind the eventual winner of the primary regardless of who it is. We have played right into the Democrats plan and now the party is fractured because of the hard fought primary.
I wish it was over.
So, the republican party is split - everybody gets that.
It has been split ever since Woodrow Wilson out-progressived the Progressives and conservatives began gradually migrating over to the less-progressive Republican Party from the newly-even-more-progressive Democrat Party.
Sorry you have given up, but it ain’t over ‘til it’s over.
“All is fair in love, war and politics. If not for the Democrat votes that Santorum got he would have finished 8 points farther behind. So what is it that is stupid about the robocalls? He harvested a lot of votes from them.”
Because this is a Republican primary, not a Democratic primary. It reveals a desperation and a willingness to do anything to get the nomination. Considering the attack ads Santorum has run against Newt, and the negative (and false) things he has said about other conservatives during the race, and now this, Santorum isn’t as principled as he pretends.
