I am saying that I believe Santorum will lose to Romney in the primary. With last nights results and a string of states favorable to Romney comming up in the next month I don't see how a protracted, money burning primary could be in our best interest.
Starting from that point I believe that it is now necessary for Romney to pick Santorum as his running mate to consolidate the GOP. Anybody but Obama in 2012.
And I believe that Romney will lose to Obama in the general. It does us no good to end the process now and nominate Romney.
“I don’t see how a protracted, money burning primary could be in our best interest.”
If it means defeating Mitt Romney, then yes, it is in our best interest to get a candidate who represents conservatives and can defeat Obama. Romney does neither. I’m not willing to support anyone who supported Obamacare or Mittcare in Massachusetts, and I’m going to fight Romney every step of the way.
Right now, RCP has Romney losing by 8 to Obama. Is this the wagon you want to hitch your ride to?
