Rick Santorum needs about 60 percent of the remaining delegates to claim the Republican nomination. It would be an easier task, he admits, if former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich would drop out, but Santorum would not call explicitly for him to do so.
“The Speaker can stay as long as he wants,” Santorum said on NBC’s Meet the Press this morning. Instead, a Super PAC supporting Santorum has run ads calling for Gingrich to drop out of the race. (snip for excerpt purp.)
“We’re in a great position now as we go forward,” he said.
Of course, there would be an easy way for Santorum to really make up ground: “I’d like everybody to get out,” he said.

I saw the same Meet the Press interview as you and I saw none of the negatives you describe and so the man loves and brags on his wife—is that bad?
The interview was excellent and Rick hit everything out of the park—but then I'm totally objective and logical.
>> Santorum is every bit, the moderate to RINO that Romney is.
Worse, in fact.
C. S. Lewis: “Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive.... those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval
of their own conscience.”
Santorum is one of those: his government will rob you of your freedoms and your treasure because *he* *knows* how to make you better than you are!
Aw, come on! I said I didn’t mean to be rude! ;)
Santorum would not win PA even if Romney were not on the ballot there.
Folks would write in a name.
He truly believes that the separation of Church and State are not “absolute”.
I expect Mississippi and Alabama will tell us more and perhaps totally change the debate. At any rate it is still anyone but Romney til the shoot-out in Tampa..
Honestly, it’s more than that.
Being pro-life is not enough. What is the criteria for these ‘conservatives’ is an agenda to use government to force their morality (and not just the pro-life issue) onto every man, woman, and child in our nation.
For government is just the application of force.
In other words, this section of ‘conservatives’ simply desires the ability to tell their neighbor what to do and how to do it. Which is modern liberalism.
LOL! With a tagline like that, there is not much I can relate to you, in regards to a debate.
It sums up the basic schism between Santorum supporter and, well, every other conservative.

Well, let me confess a little secret.
I don’t believe in “separation of church and state” either, and I’d be ALL FOR legislating Christian morality!
IF IT WOULD WORK. It won’t. Never has, never will. God didn’t design His world that way.
The best we can do is to legislate *freedom* and *personal responsibility* to a nation still, for now, composed primarily of Judeo-Christians, and let God use His people and their freedoms to further His cause.
The founding fathers knew this, because they read their Bibles. It’s not like this principle is a secret or anything.
Of the declared candidates, only Newt even approaches this ideal. I’ll take the best I can get.
I see them as the "Anti-American Fifth Column" group. Here's one of their members:
Mariner says: “This is a continuation of the norm for many (not all) Santorum supporters. If you attack Santorum or ANY of his positions, you, as a Freeper in good standing will be personally attacked by them. It’s been going on for more than a month now. I don’t know if it’s coordinated or if it’s just indicative of the type of support Santorum attracts.”
I find this type of comment, which is rather common among some Newt supporters, to be amazingly out of touch with reality. I think that the Newt supporters, not Rick’s folks, who are the ones who have been repeatedly over the line with grade school taunts and over the top claims about Santorum. For example, one poster on this thread says “Wittle Wicky Santorum is a sissified weasel putz”. Another refers to him as “ayatollah santorum”. Another says “Screw this wanna be boy king.” Still another refers to Rick as “Romney’s “butt-boy” I turn your question back to you: Is this indicative of the type of support Gingrich attracts?
And that’s without mentioning even one of Psycho-Freep’s hate-filled posts.
Romney, not so much. Romney may pick Santo just to get the Evangelical vote. I believe if Romney would have won the nomination in 2008, he would have picked Santo then, or else Huckabee.
In part to protect the Church from the State, to disallow the government from choosing what doctrine to make into law, but also to protect the Government from being molded into, legalistic Church doctrine as well.
They are loading up the truck and they're moving to DC
Pennsylvania Avenue that is—rose gardens-Easter egg rolls.
Romney is in no way working with Santorum. Romney has promised the VP slot to Rand Paul in exchange for the support of Ron Paul in attacking the other conservative candidates. Notice, you haven’t heard anything from Ron Paul, or at least not for the past few months, attacking Romney.
Your outright personal attacks in the name of moral superiority is what is sickening on this forum. Included, is your lack of courtesy in trying to hide your attacks by not letting the one you are attacking personally know.
It’s a violation of the forum rules. But somehow, you seem to place yourself above all of that. Call yourself a “Christian” all you like. But no Christian I know uses this kind of back stabbing deceit.
