That's another propaganda talking point heard and pushed by the elites ......they are called independants for a reason......do you honestly think Santorum's going to reel them in with his strong stiff-knecked social stances? Santorum is a 'staunch' Catholic and then some...which means rules don't bend...and rules must be established. Independants aren't going to go fo that structure where there is no breathing room....which Santorum will tie them up in.
I agree with everything you’ve said here. This needs a brokered convention, which would be bad news for Romney and for Santorum as far as I can tell.
The longer this drags out, the less voters can be fooled by the Republican elite/talk radio establishment.
