Perhaps. Either is better than Romney.
>>Either is better than Romney.<<
Yes, and if Newt implodes, as he very well could, or for that matter keels over (he doesn’t look like he takes very good care of himself, after all), we’ll be glad Santorum is still in it to pick up the pieces.
What people lose sight of is that Romney is getting no where near a majority of the GOP vote. Not even close. It will be interesting to see if he hits 40% today in Florida.
My feeling is let it play out for a while yet. After all, if Santorum weren’t running in Florida, part of his vote might have gone to Romney, maybe even pushing him toward that 50% level that really will make him look unstoppable. Right now though, he’s no where near unbeatable. It’s early in the process, and people are learning more and more about the way he’s willing to tear down fellow Republicans to achieve his twin goals: Replacing Obama and preserving Obamacare.
