I'll give you some spin that I believe. Rick Santorum will not be a good president for a host of reasons many of which can be heard plainly in his speech if you listen objectively and without hate for the other alternatives. Santorum was a 4%er for very good reason. He didn't pick up until everyone else dropped. He has no vision. I agree with the vast majority of Santorum's positions, but I will only support him as a very last resort.

Most probable outcome, he doesn't win the nomination. Second most probable, he wins the nomination and effectively re-elects Obama. Rosiest pie in the sky scenario, he wins the presidency. In his first term we will lose the entire Congress. If he gets re-elected the subsequent democrat will make Barack Obama look like Barry Goldwater. He can not define nor defend conservative principles. GWB is the posterchild for what happens to conservatives when we elect someone who cannot or will not define and defend our position.

If Newt drops out I will support Romney.

So, you agree with the vast majority of his positions on the issues yet believe he can't beat Obama and his policies would resort in Republicans losing Congress?

You must believe then conservative policies will are losing propositions?

That's all going to be true of Romney.

I'd rather take my chances with a conservative and risk all that than with a liberal like Romney who will push the party to the left and sell conservatives out on issue after issue.
