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.

It’s ridiculous. Honestly, though, the support for Romney as a second choice makes sense. The hatred toward Rick has done nothing but help Romney. Those who support Romney as a second choice seem to hate Rick so much because he is so socially conservative and outspoken about it, hence the nicknames like “Saint Rick” and “Sanctimonious”.
