The more people like you refer to Santorum as “Ricky” and make similar comments the more likely his supporters will go to Romney instead of Gingrich if Santorum doesn’t make it.
That’s not good, because Gingrich isn’t a bad guy, but it is reality.
Nobody is to blame for who other voters vote for but themselves. If they are stupid enough to be mis-lead then so be it...they were with Obama too.
