“As long as there was any chance that anyone but Romney could possibly go up against Obama, I supported anyone but Romney. But anything, even Romney, is better than Obama in my opinion. I don’t know how anyone could let Obama win by not voting for the Republican nominee. I mean, I hate Romney, but Romney did go through the process and he is going to be the nominee. The alternative is much, much worse. And Conservatives that can let Obama waltz back into the White House, I almost understand them, but I can’t really understand them.”
I agree completely. Santorum is unhinged. He needs to get out, and take Newt with him. At this point, they’re simply weakening Romney and, much as I dislike HIM, I DO NOT WANT TO SEE OBAMA WIN. **THAT** would be catastrophic. Whatever else he is or isn’t, I don’t think Romney is out to destroy the country the way Obama is, and there’s some hope the right can push him into line. Certainly, whoever he would nominate for the Supreme Court would be better than whatever gutter-dwelling loser Obama might come up with.
At a certain point, you have to just say.. “Okay. The elites won. What do I do NOW...?!” and the right answer is “do whatever you CAN to defeat that disaster of a President who’s in office right now.”

The other thing that happened today, is DeMint semi-endorsed romney, and maybe Demint will feel like his conservative bona fides are on the line, and help keep Mitt's feet to the fire, IF he turns out to be the nominee. I fully expect Newt to be... he's going to tampa to make a mess of things for the elites... I plan to be there to see it up close...
Especially if we add to the conservative caucus in Congress. But this is the crux--the Santorum clicque is blind to the real threat posed by Obama. I don't understand either how they can overlook the atrocities of the last three years, and the threat of five more years to come, but in their weird zeal they seem to act like obama is not even really there, and Romney, the conventional pol, is the world ending threat. Like I say--weird.
