If he wins Michigan, he WILL end up as the nominee”

Let’s play that out...do you think that Santorum can win in November?

I think that is a “maybe”...he has a shot. Not a shoo in, but he has a shot. And I think he has a better shot than Romney or Gingrich.

I would not be opposed to having a contested convention and having some combination of McDonnell/Jindal/Walker come out of that.

Or Santorum with any of those guys at the bottom, that’d be ok, too.

I’d also be ok with Santorum/McDonnell/Jindal/Walker with Christie as VP. (I know them’s fighting words here). But we have to keep our eyes on teh prize here.

What is the most important pro life objective? To beat obama. And to beat him, ideally, with a strong pro lifer. Obviously Santorum is the strongest possible alternative to him in that regard.

But we have an economic agenda as well, and as has been routinely noted, Santorum needs some muscle here from Walker, and he needs to turn his back on George W. Bush.....while still hanging onto the blue collar votes that he has gotten in the past.

In any event...just some random thoughts.

Back to the question: do you think Santorum can win in November? I think he’s got a shot, but he has some real weaknesses.

Everyone of our candidates have weaknesses.

Dirty little secret? Obama has far more than our candidates do and he proves that daily.

Once the primaries are over, maybe there will be some time spent pointing that out.

Your Post #111 is very good, ConservativeDude. Your main concern is: Can Santorum beat the Marxist we have in the White House now? Yes he can. Please consider this:

Elections are like football to a degree. The Green Bay Packers proved, this year, that on any given day, anyone can lose. It's an eternity between now and November 6th and anything can happen. If gas prices go up to $5.00 per gallon, unemployment is still above 8 percent, the Catholics are still pissed off, the 54% of the college grads who worked and voted for Obozo still can't find a job and Republicans, Conservatives and Freepers will get behind whomever the nominee is, with Marco Rubio as the VP candidate.... YES; OBOZO CAN BE DEFEATED IN NOVEMBER!!!
