Santorum may be a good man, but we need a down ‘n’ dirty fighter to get this country back from the abyss it has slid into. After America is back to the country we knew and loved, that sweater vest guy might be just right.
You may be right that we do need someone who is a fighter and very out in front about it.
Newt is a fighter up until the time he figures he has won. Then he starts to let things slip. If he can remember that winning the battle is not the war he may do.
I see good points and bad points in both. Newt is not horrible, Rick is not perfect. Santorum just edges Newt out overall IMHO.
