They don’t want Santorum as much as a two front attack by any remaining Non-Romney forces to further muddy the waters against Mitt.
I can buy that only to a point...at which point it becomes critical to back one of our guys or the other. If it's Santorum we simply will not win against Obama and his machine....Santorum's made far too many critical mistakes along the way he will not be able to afford against Obama...and unfortunately he's not bright enough on his feet to come off as he needs to against Obama in the debates he'll face...... He's going to get creamed in that respect. Not becuase Obama is so great...but because Obama has a formidable team to set him up for them...and he has the ability to deliver what they give him convincingly.
Santorum isn't there yet and still has a long ways to go in how he responds to questions and as much delivers his intentions. He isn't convincing....rather often offensive and bullying....so just voting for him thru this race in hopes to keep Rommney at bay isn't enough when we have the man this nation needs in Newt...it's just that reality .
