Wow.... C. Edmund. correct me if I’m wrong, but you are a big Newt supporter, right? Me too! But..... Santorum has always been my 2nd choice. I actually see very little to dislike about Santorum, and if he beats out Newt..... I’m okay with that. Definitely prefer Newt, but Santorum winning would make me very happy.
I am a Newt supporter and very disappointed in how he is running the campaign. I will vote for RS in the general if it comes to that, but I would not be OK with it. He will turn off the libertarian wing of the party and I think would be a total disaster as nominee.
We desperately need this election to be about reducing the size, scope, reach and power of the Fed Govt. A Santorum candidacy is not about that and never will be.
If elected, I fear he will be even more big government than GWB, meaning our best case with RS is another slow bleed for four years - at which time we will probably lose to an even more liberal Dim than Obama.
