He's a social conservative. That's pretty much my opinion of him.

[Gandalf]

He is off his head on the God delusion. Santorum drinks it in daily and seems completely drunk on the insanity. He seems to be for real. Unfortunately half of the US populace is insane too, so he appears to be somewhat popular.

[killersheep]

Well basically there are two candidates for the GOP that have been gaining the majority of the primary delegates and primary votes.

Santorum and Romney.

At this point, the USA in the general deimos/phobos loving public, a failed lottery ticket could beat Obama in the 2012 election.

Romney has a lot of money from other peoples labor as the owner of an equity firm epitimizes corporatism. I haven't heard anything real politically from him other than he plans on cutting taxes to stimulate the economy and he feels the current administration is a failed one.

Santorum has played a lot more on the table, and wants America to reflect and espouse Christian values in everyday life. Gays can be made ungay, all of the founding fathers were Christian and the laws of the land set forth by the founding fathers were based on the Bible. That is basically his platform. He also believes as he stated that the Dutch kill people as a common practice.

Business as usual in Washington really.

I would love to see Santorum win, because it would pretty much ensure an Obama/Democrat landslide, but I just can't see him beating Romney and winning the nomination. He's the type of extremist that appeals to the hardcore nutjobs, but moderate Republicans have to know he has no chance of being elected. He's batshit crazy.

It's like a sexually-repressed Bilbo running for office.

In general, in my lifetime (since 1964), our presidential candidates have been a sorry bunch of ninnies. It seems that Americans will vote against their own best interests joyfully if the sorrow is sold by some slick talking guy with white teeth. Which doesn't explain Nixon, but election rigging does.
Another Obama presidency would be horrible, but no better and no worse than a Romney or Santorum presidency, or four more years of W. Bush because they are in essence the same individual, with the same goals and objectives, just different ways of flavoring the poison.
Just wait until 2016 when Jeb Bush runs and once again voters turn out to elect anoth member of the most treasonous clan in US history.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Unfortunately, I tend to agree with you, but I put it at more like 80%.

Santorum is a fundy christian, who has no chance at winning the republican's nomination for president. Unless Romney pulls a major blunder in the next month or so he'll get the republican nod.

BTW, I like Romney's chances in November against Obama, I know i'll be voting for him, it's time to get a little sanity back in the whitehouse.

Just 40% of "whites" voted for Obama in 2008, that means an increase from 60% to 65-70%, of the white vote and Romney should get elected in 2012.

I agree that Romney is a much clearer front runner than the press is making the race out to be.

Republican Delegate Count - Election 2012 - NYTimes.com

Romney has 38.6% of the delegates he needs
Santorum has 15.8% of the delegates he needs
Gingrich has 9.4% of the delegates he needs
Paul has 4.0% of the delegates he needs
Huntsman has 0.2% of the delegates he needs

758 Delegates have cast and 1,528 remain so while it's true that only 1/3 of the delegates have cast
Romney's lead is quite strong. Add to that he has by far the deepest coffers for his own campaign as well as the most well-funded super pac.

Romney needs 47.3% of the remaining delegates to lock the candidacy (if 805 delegates cast for other candidates, he will be mathematically eliminated from the race) the soonest this could happen would be 5/8/12
Santorum needs 63.0% of the remaining delegates to lock the candidacy (if 565 delegates cast for other candidates, he will be mathematically eliminated from the race) the soonest this could happen would be 4/27/12
Gingrich needs 67.9% of the remaining delegates to lock the candidacy (if 490 delegates cast for other candidates, he will be mathematically eliminated from the race) the soonest this could happen would be 4/3/12
Paul needs 71.9% of the remaining delegates to lock the candidacy (if 429 delegates cast for other candidates, he will be mathematically eliminated from the race) the soonest this could happen would be 4/3/12
Huntsman needs 74.7% of the remaining delegates to lock the candidacy (if 386 delegates cast for other candidates, he will be mathematically eliminated from the race) the soonest this could happen would be 4/3/12

As shown above Romney has a survivability 2 weeks longer than Santorum and a month longer than any of the other 3 candidates.

It's really a 2 man race now, sooner or later republicans will realize that, Santorum, although he's done surprisingly well, can not win the republican nomination.

BTW, the Republican presidential primary in Texas was suppose to have held March 6, (Super Tuesday), as originally scheduled, but now it's not likely to happen until May 29th, by then the GOP presidential nomination is likely to be wrapped up. Texas has 155 Republican delegates.

Santorum is a douchebag that would rather talk about what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom than the real issues the country faces. Romney has done little to show me that he is anything other than a big government republican. He doesn't take hard stances on issues. I am skeptical of anyone that is so vanilla I can't really tell where they stand. I was interested in Huntsman and am a big fan of Ron Paul but it looks like I will be voting for Gary Johson in the general election.

Romney is a successful businessman, just what this country needs right now. Hopefully the liberals social experiment and it's failure has run it's course, and the Obamas & Hillary have their socialist/communist asses unceremoniously kicked out of the whitehouse in November.
