Heh. I bet you’ll welsh out of it if Santorum wins SC.

Why would I welsh out of it? I started with Santorum, jumped to Perry when he looked like the anti-Romney, and then took up Newt.

It has always been. and still is, about beating Mitt Romney. I don’t care if that’s Perry, Cain, Bachmann, Huntsman, Gingrich, or Santorum.

But I have been a part of many campaigns and a politico for some time. Santorum cannot win. There are only two possible nominees in 2012 in the real world, Gingrich or Romney. Romney is the heavy favorite. Only a win in SC and some Conservative consolidation will stop Romney. Now is desperation time; there is no more time for Hail Mary passes; that means Santorum voters must come to their senses - just as I had to sacrifice my favorite guys several times before to get behind a Conservative alternative.

You’re pulling for Santorum; I see him as a vote-splitter. In SC, he could very well end the GOP primary process and give Mitt the crown in one night. I hope and pray his supporters will realize this in the end, and give Mitt his first loss.

I have gone through this way too many times, with way too many guys rooting for the upstart candidate trying to come from nowhere to win based on an Iowa bump. Robertson, Huckabee, Grassley, what’s-his-face from TX, and so on and so forth...........and now it’s Santorum.

I am just so tired of watching this movie, and I am flabbergasted that some folks still line-up to buy tickets hoping that it’ll end differently this time because they really, really, REALLY like this upstart candidate, and this time the bounce is SO TOTALLY real and just going to last and last.

And then “everyone will see that so-and-so is the REAL Conservative alternative to Such-and-such.”

This time, I am trying to pull the plug on the projector and yank the fire alarm to get everyone out of the building and into the real world before everyone discovers the film’s ending hasn’t changed this year, either. Romney is the most vile, despicable center-left front-runner we’ve ever had, and I fear what will happen if he wins more than I feared Bush beating Reagan in 1980. He’s that bad, and I will do everything I can to stop his coronation in SC.
