I was never too keen on Santorum, but I thought I could vote for him in the primary if Gingrich dropped (Perry was my first choice).

Things have changed for me. As much as some can’t handle Gingrich and his ‘baggage’— I can’t handle Santorum.

I never cared for him to start with, just some personal dislike I can’t really define. What turns me off most is his support for unions. I detest unions.

Some call him sanctimonious as a name, but in for me it turns out, yes, he rubs me that way. What little support I could muster for him, it is gone.

I just can’t bring myself to support him and I think I dislike him nearly as much as Romney. I will sit out the primary if there isn’t a Newt.

I will vote against Obama no matter who our nominee is. I will be done with the GOP if we get Romney.

Same here. I experienced an immediate visceral dislike of Santorum when I 1st started paying attention to him in one of the early debates. The guy just rubs me the wrong way. I could wrap a bunch of adjectives around it and say that he comes across to me as a smarmy, weak, whining, passive-aggressive, disingenuous prig. But more to the point, I just don't trust the guy and I don't like him.

Apparently this isn't an uncommon sentiment.
