That's true, and there's also a big risk in running as Mr. Purity, especially if that's all you have to offer.
The media is, of course, pushing Romney and to a lesser extent, Santorum, because they know that neither one of them has a chance against Obama. Santorum will self-destruct because he is running as St Rick, and not only will this have no traction outside of a handful of social conservatives, it sets him up for a big fall when his failure to live up to this image is revealed. I think the thing that will be devastating is when the press brings out that incident where he lied about his address to get a school district where he did not live to pay for the on-line home-schooling program for his kids...and then let the State of Pennsylvania pay the $50,000 fine he was assessed when he was caught. He's going to look like a self-righteous hypocrite, and if all he is running on is his purity, I think this could be pretty destructive.
There is only one of the current candidates who has any ideas and any possibility of standing up to Obama, and that's Gingrich. That's why the press and the Dems are very eager for us to get either a big-government Mormon who thinks he's the fulfillment to a Mormon prophecy and who at the same time braggingly let himself get photographed with a band of Gordon Gecko type cronies, all of them with money sticking out of their clothing or their mouths - or a self-righteous, weak, idea-free, big-government former Senator whose only selling point is that he has been married to the same woman for a number of years and home-schools his children. Although even that is not going to be much of a selling point once it is examined more closely...
This is all very depressing and I'm pretty sure we're in for four more years of Obama. I'm not giving up yet, of course, because the stakes are too high. Obama will completely destroy us if we have four more years of him.

“No Man has a more perfect reliance on the all-wise and powerful dispensations of the Supreme Being than I have, nor thinks his aid more necessary...The man must be bad indeed who can look upon the events of the American Revolution without feeling the warmest gratitude towards the great Author of the Universe whose divine interposition was so frequently manifested in our behalf....In war He directed the sword, and in peace, He has ruled in our councils.”

“Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; this is all we can expect - We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die: Our own Country's Honor, all call upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world. Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions - The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings, and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the Tyranny meditated against them. Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and shew the whole world, that a Freeman contending for Liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.”

Santorum running as St. Rick...
Romney running as Bishop of the United States...
and
0bama trying to preach like Jesus at prayer breakfasts...
Republican morals have no traction ...and 0bama’s blasphemy gains all the votes.
Why can 0bama spout off and blasphemy that which the Lord has taught and Republicans are condemned...even by our own?
LOL...we have a Saint, a Bishop, and a Messiah...choose.
