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.

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.

That was not the idea of the “republican establishment”...that came from me. A voter...and a Christian. It is not a matter of his being “too Christian”.it is a matter of his being whacky. More whacky does not constitute being “more Christian.” Thank goodness

And 20 per cent of the Christian vote? You cannot be serious. You are saying 80 per cent of the Christian democrats are not going to vote for Obama? You know that is not true.
