“As long as RS is a threat to get the nomination, and therefore take the country down to a humiliating defeat that will usher in four more years of unchecked liberalism, I will be hard pressed to decide politeness is the most important ingredient.”
BTW, if Rasmussen polled Newt vs. Obama in those four states, it is behind Ramussen’s pay wall, so I can’t see it, but I get the feeling that had Rasmussen found that Newt was leading Obama in those four key states it would have been posted on FR already.
So if you don’t like Santorum for X or Y reason, that’s fine and dandy, but your claim that a Santorum nomination would send the GOP to a “humiliating defeat” is false, and not helpful in our mutual quest to stop Romney from winning the nomination.
These polls now are hypothetical and meaningless, like your response.
