Most recognize Newt's on a mission and more than willing to go against whoever he has to to get our country back on track and moving forward again...and this without concerns for "other" political advancement, which Santorum most definately has and he will step on and over people to attain that.
Santorum's from my state so I am all too familiar with the likes of how he operates....further the following descriptions are from the people in my State that worked directly with Santorum who know Santorum best politically and professionally":
extreme,... big government,... pork barrel spender,... hair trigger volatility,... cruel,... extremely arrogant, ...dismissive,... massive ego,.... lack of character,... poor temperament, ...unfit, ...He treats people really badly with arrogance and contempt, ...multiple personas,.. vindictive,... nasty,... a disaster,... abrasive, ...absurd,... phony,... rigid,... divisive,.... a sure victory for Obama.
