I've avoided attaching myself too strongly to any one candidate because I've been watching primaries play out for 40 years and have seen too many people get way too caught up in euphoria over any one candidate.

Sooo...that's no skin off your nose, just goes with any race and part of the enjoyment derived from observing and participating with the candidates in the race. You pick your guy and root him on, as well as defend and exhort him. Passion for a candidate and what he stands for is pretty much the American way in our elections...and that's a good thing.

Ricks had the disctinction of wearing his faith on his sleeve but his presentation is very judgemental of other faiths as well as the unchurched. This just evidences he's not groomed enough to draw any more than those as himself, but offending those not. It's been a bad move on his part as Carter did the same thing and we know how that turned out. ...he won but was a disaster for our country.

Perhaps you NEED to pick a candidate and really get passionate about your guy...win or loose it's a race to the finish for our country and many are taking it seriously and why the passions are so high...and should be...there's much at stack.

I think the major problem with him is that the MSM is aiming its guns at him, including the so-called "conservative" part of the MSM - Drudge and Fox News were both dragging up anything they can find to hurt Santorum. It was not a coincidence that Drudge was dragging up speeches Santorum gave a few years ago.

I want anybody but Romney and RuPaul to win the primary, and in that regard I will be passionate about whoever wins as long as it's not RuPaul or Romney. I could even be passionate about Santorum if he wins, even if I have my doubts about him in the general election (cue the attacks from Santorum supporters ;-) ).
