I agree with you, but I was talking about the debate TONIGHT... I don’t think it would be in Rick’s best interest to make this debate about abortion or the catholic church.. we all get it.... he can’t allow this debate to be about that.. it needs to be about ecconomy, jobs, etc... if he can do this effectively he wins... hands down.

Stunning. I guess Obama knew what he was doing, because you seem to indicate that a discussion of Obamacare is now a discussion about religion and abortion. As long as you think that way, Santorum cannot raise the issue. Obamacare happens to be one major reason Santorum is a superior candidate to Newt or Romney. If he has to abandon the issue for fear that it raises the specter of a a “religious” discussion, Santorum forfeits a major advantage over his competitors. Newt or Mitt can match Santorum effectively on jobs or the economy. Other than his “blue collar” jobs angle he has little to no edge on the economy. I appreciate the debate, but I hope he doesn't play it safe, because he'll fade if he does.

To be upfront Newt is my choice. Santorum is my 2nd but he is fading fast. This country has major problems and many of them are not related to Abortion or his Catholic Beliefs.

Jobs, Spending, Taxes, Israel and the Middle East, Oil, Immigration they need just as much attention as Abortion. Santorum is by appearance becoming a one trick pony.

All we here from Santorum is about Abortion. Yes I am appalled at the number of Kids lost every year but that is not the only issue that this country faces.
