Newt endorsed RINO Dede Scozzavave in NY’s 23rd district, but Santorum (and Bachmann) endorsed Dede’s opponent conservative Doug Hoffman. We should not hold that alone against Newt, but we also shouldn’t hold one mistake against Santorum either.

Mark Levin said long ago that he would vote for Santorum or Bachmann. He does his research. Now more rank and file conservatives are doing their research, and are realizing that Santorum is the best!

“How I hope this is true about Santorum, but the critics say he can’t win anything else even if a miracle happened in IA.”

Santorum won 4 times out of 5 in a blue state which is why I’m optimistic.

Here’s one example.

“Two years later, he (Santorum) won 61 percent of the vote even as President George H.W. Bush lost his district by 22 points — an astounding result, really”

Santorum can never be underestimated.

The best outcome for conservatives is that the Bachmann supporters flock to Santorum. It seems Perry is stronger in IA than I had expected. I hope they support the right “Rick” — that’s Santorum.
