Santorum is the ONLY candidate who will not put off the female voters (a crucial demographic that shows Newt losing in spades) and his blue-collar appeal will peel of blue states into the Republican column. He wins PA and with Rubio as his VP, FL falls into the red column and its all over for Obama. This is about winning the general and is much more than derailing Romney. While Newt dishes out red meat, he is undisciplined and unelectable and un-telegenic and Obama will scald him over his prior support of mandatory health insurance purchase.
Meh. I’m female, and Newts marriage baggage doesn’t scare me away. It takes two - and I’ve read up about both of his failed marriages, it’s not as scandalous as it is made out by the MSM.
His divorces will only cause the socially conservative to turn away. Some of them. There are a lot of voters to whom this is not a deal breaker.
We do not have a perfect candidate.
You keep saying that, Steelfish, and it just isn’t true. How many women do YOU know that like whiny, spiteful, petty little men?
Check the latest poll. A higher percentage of women support Gingrich over Romney than men. Quit listening to the talking heads on TV.
