I don’t see any way Santorum loses to Obama. Santorum would put Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, and Pennsylvania into the Republican column. And there isn’t a single state that McCain won four years ago that doesn’t go for Santorum as well.

Umm, how about the fact that PA voted against Santorum for REELECTION to the senate? Just how does him as a presidential candidate change the fact that the people of PA said no to him already and put it in the win column? And how does NC, VA, IN, IA, OH come into play once they start recycling the campaign against Santorum that cost him his senate seat in PA?

Do we really want another 'culture of corruption' campaign cycle?

And your point? He did better in PA in his senate loss than McCain did in his loss to Obama.

Obama needs PA. He can’t win without it.

“And how does NC, VA, IN, IA, OH come into play once they start recycling the campaign against Santorum that cost him his senate seat in PA?”

Uh, all of those states are ‘in play’, and will likely turn against Obama this electoral cycle. Santorum just reinforces all of them in the race against Obama. Which is what we need right now.

A solid conservative from a battleground state.

Gee, I had no idea that Bob Casey was running for President.

It is astonishing that many make excuses and pass Gingrich through with all of his past flaws and then say something as ignorant as this.Santorum was in dem territory.Obama cannot win without PA. PA hates Obama but they’re dem side would not show if one of they’re own from Butler, PA was POTUS.
