I prefer Newt but I have to say Santorum seems to have the ability to weather some pretty good missteps. I think he will win AZ and MI Tuesday.

I think the better question is if this is the best electorate we have?

After watching the debate on wednesday, its clear to me that Newt is the only one who is capable of leadership.

Mitt and Ricky looked like bickering children.

Ditto.
I sent Santorum $100 but wouldn’t mind if he were Newt’s VP pick.

Well, you're both wrong!

Today's National Republican Gallup five-day moving average to yesterday shows Romney ahead by two points, with three post-Arizona debate days in the moving average. Two days from now, when the remaing two pre-debate days drop off, Romney should be ahead by around eight points, based on straight line extrapolation.

This is not what I would wish for, just reality.

What time is it? (A) Secret Service time..

Rick Santorum to receive Secret Service protection

(CNN) - CNN can confirm that GOP presidential candidate Senator Rick Santorum will receive Secret Service protection this week according to a source familiar with the situation.

At this time, rival presidential candidate Mitt Romney is the sole candidate who currently receives Secret Service protection.

Couldn’t agree more. My best friend who lives in PA. called me the day after the debate. She said she had to walk away from the TV several times, because of Rick’s painfully embarrassing performance.

He is the least Presidential acting of all the candidates IMHO. The thought of him on the world stage literally makes me cringe. I would have thought we had been embarrassed and humiliated enough without seriously considering another lightweight.

But with a Michigan delegates WIN Tuesday coupled with a Washington state win a few days later, Rick’s RIGHT back on top.

And that’s the reality we can ALL wish for and likely receive.

GO SANTORUM!

I’m hearing that Rick will be getting a ton of Democrat votes in Michigan. I don’t think the significance of that has occurred to his supporters yet.
