“Santorum did better than Newt, but he never had a chance to win because too many conservatives recognized he could never win a national general election.”
1 - Both Santorum and Newt were second tier, mediocre (at best) candidates.
2 - It amazes me that some Newt supporters are myopic enough to think that Newt could have won the general. Santorum had a better shot by far.
I thought this election would be an inspiration and a chance for conservatism to blossom. Far from it!
However, anyone thinking that another four years of 0 is preferable to Romney is severely delusional. We can’t afford 0’s spending, and we REALLY can’t afford any SCOTUS picks of his.
I’m sure many that’re saying they’ll not vote, or will vote third party will instead come to their senses by November.
We differ on the Newt/Santorum issue, but I agree with everything else in your post. It is definitely a huge letdown to wind up with Romney after all the excitement in 2010. Saying that, I agree we have to vote for the only candidate that has any chance of beating Hussein - even if only to stop the Supreme Court from going hard left. Most of this talk about not voting or voting 3rd party will diminish as we get closer to November.
