You make some good points but Santorum has said too many crazy things that are so far removed from main stream society, there is no way the average voter could ever vote for him. There was another article in today’s paper here in San Antonio this morning quoting some of these quotes.

Absolutely not - this is the idea that the Republican establishment markets so that Republicans will nominate their guy, Romney.

In the general elections I describe, when independents saw this choice:

A) Obama

B) Santorum

Most would choose to vote against 4 more years of Obama.

Approximately 75% of Americans self-identify as Christians.

For a Christian to vote against a Christian candidate because they are "too Christian", and instead vote for a candidate who is a far-left idealogue, muslim sympathizer, anti-semite and who is bankrupting the country would require them to buy into leftist propaganda rather completely.

I doubt Obama would get more than 20% of the Christian vote.

Santorum has said too many crazy things
How about good ol' Mitt: "I purchased a gun when I was a young man. I've been a hunter pretty much all my life." (Romney's campaign later said he'd been hunting twice, once when he was 15, and once in 2006 at a Republican fundraiser
“I don’t speak for the scientific community, of course, but I believe the world’s getting warmer. I can’t prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. And number two, I believe that humans contribute to that. I don’t know how much our contribution is to that, because I know that there have been periods of greater heat and warmth in the past but I believe we contribute to that. And so I think it’s important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and the global warming that you’re seeing.” ~Mitt Romney, his view about global warming during a campaign stop in New Hampshire, June 2011

And the crazy flip flop:

”My view is that we don’t know what’s causing climate change on this planet. And the idea of spending trillions and trillions of dollars to try to reduce CO2 emissions is not the right course for us.” ~Mitt Romney, about his views on global warming during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh, October 28, 2011

“Don’t try to stop the foreclosure process. Let it run its course and hit the bottom.” ~Mitt Romney, defending banks and kicking people out of their homes.

“Corporations are people, my friends.” ~Mitt Romney, declaring that corporations are people in front of a crowd of real people in Iowa.
