The Santorum-fan version of that list:
You know, that is not fair. I haven’t found Santorum fans to be so vicious to newt. They (we) tend to be kinder than that.
I will vote for whichever one has the best chance at stopping Romney, if there is still a chance in June. Right now I prefer Santorum. And right now, he has the best chance. Coalescing around Santorum right now could knock Romney out.
Gingrich is a complicated guy. He’s a genius with facts and knowledge at his fingertips, but not the social skills to know when to apply them sometimes. I love him at the debates. But his personality, shaped by probably some kind of neglect in his childhood, influences his behavior, and religious conversion doesn’t appear to have changed it. He may choose priorities according to selfish needs as he sometimes does.
I’d rather those risks than Romney. What’s good about Gingrich is great. I thought out my own priorities rationally, and decided that Santorum has the best, most humble attitude about the representative position that is potus, and would, Hippocrates style, first, do no harm.
I hope you understand my choice of Santorum over Gingrich even if you feel differently.
Clearly you haven’t encountered the same fans I have. Even here on FR, the anti-Newt flames get nasty.
Santorum’s problem is that he’s unable to keep on message. He constantly makes the campaign about his own social positions, and every second that the media can focus the “debate” on, for instance, the “war on women,” American voters will be that much more ignorant about Obama’s horrific record on jobs and the economy. Remaking this country into a theocracy is not gonna fly.
