IF Santorum wins Michigan, he might well end up as the nominee

If he wins Michigan, he WILL end up as the nominee.
And then obama will get another four years for certain.

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.
