Give up looking for your pure conservative. Santorum’s record is only now being examined and he’s been as squishy as any Republican. His conservative voting record is lower than Newt’s.

Newt didn’t “join every trendy liberal cause.” The only one you can say he considered is a free market-oriented cap and trade type of plan. Liberals hated what he was proposing, so it was a moderate position. He’s not proposing it now and the Congress can stop anything like that.

Newt is the most conservative candidate who can win, period.

Newt forced Clinton of all people to go with the conservative agenda, balancing the budget and welfare reform. This is a guy that can get things done. No other Republican candidate could accomplish that, I’m sure.

What people who advocate for Santorum fail to realize is that Santorum is already not going to be on the ballot of at least twelve states; and as more deadline approach, he is likely going to miss over twenty ballots.

How can he POSSIBLY win if he is not even on the ballot of 20+ states, many of whom don't allow write-in?

What is Santorum’s path to victory? (Honest answer: he has none).
