I am eagerly awaiting those blind Freepers who were in love with the sweater vest geek to apologize to all of us who put up with their insults as we tried to warn them about Santorum......

Poor Ted and Rand. Can’t handle running for President because they are called out by a fellow Republican. If they can’t handle Republicans being critical are they going to cry when the Democratic Party does it. Best to put their big boy pants on if they want to get into politics especially Presidential level. If not then stay in the safety of the Senate where they can spout off things but not have any results.

But you'd still vote for him in the General in 2016 if he was the GOP nominee, wouldn't you?

I am glad that Santorum's advisers have counseled this approach for him. It's more honest. His 2016 'threat' is merely to siphon off conservatives fooled by his social conservatism from the real three-legged-stool conservatives like Ted Cruz and Scott Walker.

If he calls Cruz & Paul "bombthrowers" (echoing liberals), that puts him into the moderate camp to compete with Jeb, Mitt & Christie. Good. I hope both Santuckabee and Huckatorum fight like the moderates they are rather than try to fool the voters into thinking they are complete conservatives like the so-called 'bombthrowers' (i.e. complete conservatives) whom they malign.
