Santorum has not been a factor in the race until now, and therefore has not had his many political faults discussed widely. Now he’ll get that pleasure.

“Romney will take tougher approach to Santorum, adviser says “

LOL If that’s the best “dirt” that mittens has to throw against Santorum, he better start crying now.

Mitt better come up with something better than that.

All S need do, if he chooses to respond, is contrast what he was doing in DC vs what Mitt was doing in MA, during the same time period.

Ah, so the gun-grabbing, pro-abortion, pro-homosexualist, statism-loving socialist wants to go negative again, huh?

I'd sooner spit in Romney's face than vote for him for dog catcher. FUMR!

Here comes the Romney big money unfounded character smear.

Doesn’t Mormonism have something like “Do not bear false witness against your neighbor”? Or are they like Islam that encourages you to stick it to anyone who’s not of the elect?

Good. Romney is a smear man, and this with Gingrich’s attack will show Romney to be what he really is - an issueless shyster.

Better Santorum than ROMNEY!

This is the only thing Flip can do. He has no positives to run on. He gets some some term gain with this method but his overall appearance and likeability takes a beating in the process. He continues to fall with his numbers across the board continuing to drop even from the unsuccessful 2008 campaign levels.

He’s a slow motion train wreck but no one wants to admit as much. How long until they once again dust off the draft Jeb Bush movement rumors?

The Romney slime machine is warming up fast today in order to try and take down Santorum now that he’s become a clear threat after last night’s massacre.

Personally I don’t care what Romney does. I am not going to be voting for him.

And then after the smears, Romney will say:

“I never saw the ads. They were created by a SuperPac that I’m not even allowed to talk to”:

This act is getting old. Let’s put Romney in a cage on top of a limo and ship him back to Massachusetts.

TRANSLATION:

I will call out the slime machine I used on Bachmann, Cain and Gingrich but haven't released on Ron Paul as he serves me well.
