I don't think that'll be possible this time, as this time there is an alternative choice for these folks, one who obviously has a better shot at the nomination.

Another reason it was a good thing Cruz got out there early.

I hope you’re right, but his stranglehold on the Southern Baptist block was pretty strong last time. Ted Cruz is a Christian, but he wasn’t a baptist preacher, and that means a lot to some people.

And thats the thing, he doesn’t have to have a HUGE impact. If he siphons 5% and Santorum gets another 5% of people who’s primary issue is abortion, thats a big deal because its all coming from Cruz.

Santorum especially bothers me because he has come out and stated he’s running to give voice to pro life causes. Nothing against pro life, but if you are running for president it should be because you think you can be president, not cause celeb for a particular issue.
