I don't agree that Santorum could have won. I love him and his ideas, but he is about as exciting as watching grass grow. We need a charismatic, articulate candidate whose ideas are not already viewed as extreme before he even announces his candidacy. The Democrats are great at demonizing our candidates and the MSM is not going to help us correct any misconceptions.

Santorum also would most likely have lost his home state because of the massive voter fraud that took place. With 30 Republican governors, there should be a better way to combat voter fraud. We should emphasize that the purpose of voter identification measures is not to keep any eligible voter from voting, but to keep their legal vote from being canceled out by ten illegal ones.

We know that our conservative ideas are the way to prosperity, but, as Rush often says, it takes some time for a uninformed, MSM, public school educated voter to grasp them. I think Rush's idea of getting his program on Spanish radio stations has some merit as well as the author's idea of supporting conservative versions of the stale, old Democrat organizations. A case in point is Pat Robinson's American Center of Law and Justice which has done an excellent job as a counterweight to the ACLU.

No different than Romney who also failed to win a single county in his home state.

Why do we have one ‘lesser standard’ for Romney, and a higher bar for Santorum?

“whose ideas are not already viewed as extreme before he even announces his candidacy.”

Do you support Abortion sir?

Agreed. I have always believed, and still do, that Herman Cain was the best candidate in a weak field for exactly this reason. His inexperience and poor judgement regarding his staff sunk him, I get it, but he would have had the best chance to beat Obama. Why? Because, despite the "radical" nature of 9-9-9 he had charisma. His message was simple. He was funny and energetic and he could inspire.

We have an awesome bench for 2016 compared to a very weak bench for the Dems. I am very confident we will start to turn this around in 2 years. Of course this assumes that we stop nominating idiots who make stupid that sink their campaigns. I mean if there is a dumber politician then Todd Akin I have yet to meet him, and following that fiasco Mourdock's comments are nothing short of bewildering.
