Santorum calls Romney 'uniquely disqualified' to run against Obama (Is he becoming unhinged?)

And then he spent the entire post-speech press conference walking back from that statement.

CBS:

____________________________

After a rally at the South Hills Country Club here, Santorum asked Republicans to "pick any other Republican in the country" than GOP presidential front-runner Romney, based on issues that make the former Massachusetts governor "uniquely disqualified" to run against Obama.

Reporters swarmed him for clarification, only to have Santorum testily reply that it was unreasonable to take his comment outside the context of health care. "I would say, as for, on the issue of health care, yes, that's what I was talking about - Obamacare, as you heard me say," he said. "That's what I said. I didn't say anything different than that. That's exactly what I said."

Minutes later, Jeff Zeleny of The New York Times followed up with a question about his outburst, to which Santorum asked, "What speech did you listen to? Stop lying." Pressed further, Santorum clarified that he meant Romney was the worst candidate "to run against Barack Obama on the issue of health care, because he fashioned the blueprint. I've been saying it in every speech. Quit distorting our words. If I see it [in print], it's bull(expletive). C'mon man, what are you doing?"

Romney spokesman Ryan Williams quickly issued a statement in response: "Rick Santorum is becoming more desperate and angry and unhinged every day. He see conservatives coalescing around Mitt Romney and he's rattled by the backlash caused by his suggestion that keeping Barack Obama would be better than electing a Republican. He's panicking in the final stages of his campaign."

all the crap on Romney his flip flopping and his religion once the he is the candidate.

Not to mention the Bain stuff -- which, when Obama gets through with it, will make socialism look not nearly so unpalatable to lots of people.

Santorum just lost my support

I find both Romney and Saintorum to be “uniquely disqualified” to run against Obama.

I took your post to be a swipe at Santorum. If that wasn’t intended, I apologize.

I don’t care who the nominee is as long as it isn’t Mittens. Newt has warts; Santorum has warts; RP has warts (and isn’t a contender). I would take any of them over Mittens.
