I am an “anybody but Newt” guy, but if Newt wins the nomination, I will support him 100%. 2012 has to be about beating Obama. I think that Gingrich’s negatives are just too high to beat Obama. As for Santorum being part of the Romney gameplan, I doubt it. I actually think Santorum has a chance of winning. At some point, social conservatives have to realize that Gingrich can’t do it and the only alternative is Santorum. Don’t Republicans still believe that character matters.

If Santorum had been vetted and attacked as Newt has, Santorum would NOT be doing as well as Newt is, and his negatives would be very high. In addition, while Santorum’s positions on social issue are praised/liked here on FR, they don't go over real well with the general population. In addition, those that want the spending under control, debt reduced and taxes lowered, don't see Santorum as the person who will do that. Have a nice day.
