Newt and Paul are hopelessly out of the running and that's a glaring fact.
Santorum is still in the running even though it is a long shot that he will ever catch Romney. Still, it is a two man race.
So it is a realpolitik axiom that a hit on Rick is a kiss on Mitt.
Now if someone is a Mittbot, I could respect their bashing Santorum—at least they have some integrity even if their man is a serial liar RINO.
“I came to the House as a real deficit hawk, but I am no longer a deficit hawk. I’ll tell you why. I had to spend the surpluses. Deficits make it easier to say no.” –Rick Santorum.-- You never did comment on this quote. I was never for Romney and you know that. I was never for Santorum and you know that. What has Santorum done or said lately that would give me any incentive to support him? Just that he's a Social Conservative and not Romney? Newt is still in the race and I support him and I'm not compelled to make any other choice now because you want me to even if you really do believe I'm for Romney because you think I'm hurting Santorum's chances. Santorum is hurting his own chances.
