I have never believed that a ham sandwich could beat Obama. We have an electorate that is not paying attention, we have a complicit media that will do everything and anything to get him reelected and we have the father of lies covering the truth in this world. On one hand, we have Newt that has been fully vetted, everybody knows everything that there is to know about him, no surprises. And none of his baggage can be used against him by the Democrats. Then we have Santorum. He hasn’t even begun to be vetted by the media. I’m sorry, but that is the truth.

At the risk of offending you, I will say that I believe that people are projecting onto Rick what they WANT him to be, not what he has been in the past and what he is now. They see a godly man and they WANT to believe that he is the whole package. There are actually a couple of other very personal things that make me hesitate on him but I am not willing to share those.

HOWEVER, I will vote for him if he ends up our candidate. I will work for him and do all that I can to get out the vote. That is more than I can say if it turns out to be Mitt.

And you MUST know that I will vote for Newt if he is the nominee....NO QUESTION! Now the reason I want Santorum is because we have never had a candidate quite like him before. He is a social conservative who has a great fiscal record too (I didn’t say perfect). This would be the first time we get a social conservative first. Reagan was not necessarily a social conservative. I would say he was more fiscal conservative but definitely found social issues important. It would just be so interesting to see how much we could clean up the morals of the country. We are a mess. Do you think for a moment that Abortion would have been passed had Santorum been President back in the late 60’s early 70’s...No way because he would have put conservative Supreme Court members. That is why I think having Santorum would be incredible.

This bears repeating, re: people projecting what they want to believe Santorum is—rather than what he actually is (a two-bit SoCon statist with collectivist affinities).

This is exactly what people on the Left did with Obama—their voters projected what they wanted to believe he was. Santorum is basically the Right's Obama.

Anyway, congrats on the wins, Santorumites. This at least helps us maintain a viable path to the convention. Neither Santorum or Gingrich can accrue the necessary # of delegates to win the nom outright, but we can at least prevent Romney from doing so.
