Romney campaign should send a thank you note to Santorum. Santorum took away the heat (at least part of it) from their own gaffe. That the statement came from the candidate himself, not an adviser, carries more weight. Romney can always fire his adviser and denounce the statement. Santorum can’t. That Gingrich now has weighed in, and sides with Romney, doesn’t help Santorum.

What Santorums statements shows is that he is more interested in winning than in what is best for our country!

Anyone with a brain knows that ANY of the Republican candidates would be better than Obama! Just think about what more DEMS in the House and Senate would do along with more Executive Orders from Obama! Not to mention the appointment of judges to the SCOTUS!!!

You are right about the etch-a-sketch - it had the potential to do some longtime damage to Romney, and it got lost in the shuffle of the Santorum story...
