"I'm incredulous to see all these cheap personal shots directed towards Santorum.
I tell you one thing, no matter what happens, I will never vote for Newt due to the ugliness of his bots."

I am incensed that you have lumped me here. "cheap personal shots"??? Please!

I gave a measured assessment using my personal and professional opinion. In my opinion, Santorum does not currently carry enough gravitas to win in November. I will not under-estimate the current office holder and this Country can not survive another four years of him. Nice guy that Santorum is, meek is your assessment, not mine, but it is apt (well maybe a little strong).

I'll go with the proven leadership and the person who will not be steamrolled by the democrat machine. Again, my vote goes now to Newt and I personally AND professionally believe he is the best hope in the current field to save this Union.

I'm sorry you feel the way you do...If Santorum were the nominee, I'd vote for him in a second just to help not having another second of Obama as President. I would hope no matter the nominee, you would feel the same way. At least, I hope you'll keep your mind open to the possibility of not helping Obama to another four years.

Maybe it's his youthful child-like personage, maybe his way of presenting his ideas, maybe his pushing a gimmick like his sweater vests, but his presentation comes across like amateur-hour and very much as asking permission of the adults in the room to listen to his ideas.

This portion of your post was unnecessary. My assessment stands.

And for the record, I intended "meekness" in the Biblical sense, which is quite different from the secular. Ronald Reagan possessed the same kind of spiritual meekness as Santorum.

No, I'll do a write-in rather than vote for Newt. Good thing there were no televised debates in Lincoln's day. I've read that his voice was rather high.
