I think Santorum does not yet realize that there's a bigger anti-Santorum element in the GOP primary electorate than there is an anti-Romney contingent.

Anyone that favors Romney over Santorum isn't a conservative. RINOs and libertarians with a bug up their ass about social issues are the only ones that would favor Romney over Santorum.

Exiting polling shows Santorum in most states that have recently held primaries or caucuses overwhelmingly winning about the most conservative voters and those aligned with the Tea Party.

Self identified.

In some states Romney has gotten so called Tea Party support.

A voter favoring ROMNEY over SANTORUM would definitely, by definition, not be conservative. They would either be a RINO/Moderate, or lets say somebody so filled with spite over their candidate such as Newt Gingrich losing, that they would be in juvenile, "I'll take my marbles home and not play anymore" attitude. .... I cannot fathom it. Particularly right here within FR.

It would be the sames as a Santorum supporter supporting Romney, if Santorum dropped out and Gingrich were still in the race, just over bitterness. It makes no sense. ROMNEY IS THE ENEMY OF ALL CONSERVATIVES. PERIOD.

Bingo!

There’s a word for Republicans who either ignore, or timidly stay away from social issues: RINOs.

Which is really disheartening because Santorum is neither conservative or competent to beat Obama.

What I find most dissapointing about the primary process both this year and in 2008 is the effective use of misinformation to snow conservative voters. The ads depicting Romney and Santorum as conservative are truly sickening. But who do you blame? the organizations producing the the propaganda ... or the stupidity of the voters taken in by it?
