“We have a quality candidate that’s currently leading Romney.”
There has to be a way to get someone like Paul Ryan to reconsider.
“They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we should not get involved in cultural issues. That is not how traditional conservatives view the world.” - Rick Santorum
I can see the intent of the comment, and given the website, and the quote, I can see how Santorum will get pummeled. Rick Santorum got crushed in his own state, I think he’s a decent enough man, but I honestly don’t think moderates will vote for him.
Obama is not the son of an extremely popular former Pennsylvania Governor and 2012 is not gonna be a communist landslide year like 2006.
I think RS would be fine. I think he’s a stronger opponent than Romney or Gingrich. Rust belt Blue Collar Catholic is a good profile for taking on Obama.
I like Paul Ryan a lot but I don’t see why he would do so much better.
Any other candidates position on entering the race is irrelevant unless no one wins a majority of delegates. And in such a case I think it’s more likely a current candidate would get the nomination. I’d put 95% odds that either Santorum or Romney will be the nominee.
Santorum has an opportunity right now to win the majority of delegates. Vote splitting with Gingrich is his largest obstacle, if Newt were to quit the race would be over. I think Romney’s attacks will fail this time, Santorum doesn’t have Gingrich’s baggage or likability problems.
I still like Marco Rubio the best. His speeches are quite impassioned and uplifting and he seems like a good hearted person as well.
