Looks like none of Steyn's candidates did well last night.

Newt did poorly, which seems to be Steyn’s main passion.

Steyn has been pretty brutal on all our candidates, so not sure who he is behind. He has not been real hard on Romney, but I can’t believe he is backing him. I suspect he see’s Romney as the likely nominee and isn’t going to hard after him.

We don’t have a Jean Chretien.

No one wants to look at the books.

Budget cutting is not in vogue yet.

Listening to Rush Limbaugh praising, defending and promoting Santorum - big Government for the right reasons.

If I were Obama, I’d be thanking Steyn for all the help.

Steyn has puzzled me recently. He seems to be searching for the mythical perfect candidate. And one of the so-called most conservative candidate in the race won (Santorum) and the other one is gone (Bachmann).

I can understand what is troubling Steyn. The only really strong, trustworthy, conservative candidate was Sarah Palin, and she’s not running.

I agree with him that this coming election is our last chance. And most of the candidates are pretty weak.

I think Santorum is the best of the bunch remaining, and I’m glad he did well. It’s also a plus that Bachman dropped out. I liked her very much as a congresswoman, but she was never a real POTUS possibility, and she has dropped the ball on her congressional responsibilities.

Too bad Perry came back in. Another loser, but he and Bachman took enough votes away from Santorum to give Romney a boost.

I don’t think Steyn is shilling for any one candidate, and certainly not Romney. He’s worried that Western civilization is coming to an end—killed by poor Demographics, moral decay, and the oncoming threat of Muslim domination.

Disappointed with Steyn. He’s in the tank for Romney.

Seems like Steyn is concerned that Santorum might be a “compassionate conservative”. He does seem a bit emotional when talking about illegal immigration, for instance, much like Newt. I believe it’s a concern, too. We will learn more about Santorum in the coming week(s).
