You can spin Santorum any way you like, but it was Santorum who helped Specter keep his Senate seat, only to immediately turn on us and be the 60th vote to approve Obamacare.

The biggest problem you have in selling your hero is, the fact that he will lose to Obama. You better get busy and do some research on your own. Take an inside look at what the other side has already planned for Santorum. You think that it was rough for Newt? You ain't seen nuthin’ yet!

If Santorum is picked, we will not only lose in a very big way, it will also relieve the angst from the GOPE, because they know Santorum well, and his past gives them cause to relax if he gets the nomination. Not so with Newt, and you know it.

“Not so with Newt, and you know it.”

Newt is dead man walking. It is Santorum or Romney. Easy choice. Santorum will defeat Romney and will win the midwest battleground states (which are overwhelmingly white working class). Those states are absolutely beyond reach in the general to Mittens and they would be harder for Newt to win than Santorum, a legitimately blue collar ethnic Catholic. As a first generation Italian-American, Santorum would be poised to win states like New Jersey which have heavily Italian populations and which would clearly be out of reach for either Romney or Gingrich.

Even Nate Silver, a big lib, is beginnning to see it

Woohoo, it’s Psycho again! Apt name.

“The biggest problem you have in selling your hero is, the fact that he will lose to Obama.”

Nope, that is sheerest unfounded supposition on your part.

“You better get busy and do some research on your own. Take an inside look at what the other side has already planned for Santorum.”

As usual, the “other side” will pull out all stops on the negative advertising, just like Romney is. So? Rick Santorum has less baggage than 0bamney or Gingrich. Plus, he is a true conservative that provides a clear contrast with 0bama.

Further, given the horrible job 0 has done across the board, Santorum will have a boatload of ammo to send the other way.

“You think that it was rough for Newt? You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!”

Newt has no chance in the general. His negatives are through the roof, and that’s before the barrage of Dem attack ads. I hope he drops out soon, that will put Santorum over the top in a big way. Unless he’s a complete hypocrite he’ll do it, but I don’t have much faith that he will, truthfully.

Your words are exactly how Romney ads portray Santorum.

80% ACU rating for Santorum; 88% for Gingrich.

Santorum LEADS Romney.

There are CONSERVATIVE REASONS for everything Santorum did, and there are LIBERAL REASONS for everything Romney did.

The only way Rick loses to Obama is if conservatives fail to unite and fight for him.

Thus the name PSYCHO-FREEP, I guess. All caps, nice touch.

Santorum is not perfect, but there is no doubt in my mind he was a strong Reagan supporter in his youth and if elected he’d probably govern very closely to the way RR did. As an aside, I believe he is the only candidate who would make positive steps to reverse the homosexualization and feminization of the military, which I would strongly support.
