I'll say it again, I'm happy with either guy, but the capacity of some to delude themselves about who they see as a political opponent is seemingly bottomless.
Santorum is as bad as Romney who is almost as bad as Obama - riiight.

I'm glad you're looking in the mirror and seeing the cause of your infatuation. Santorium has a voting record that varies very little from Barry and Romney has RomneyCare. Newt, on the other hand, has a balanced budgets, the first Republican majority in forty years, as well as a long, long, record of voting on the Conservative side of issues.
I realize you and others will dream on, though, it's how we got the piece of dung we now have as President in the first place. People "felt" good about someone rather than looking at their record.
