It's not just me saying that. Michelle Malkin and Bill Kristol both see a viable path to a Santorum nomination. Malkin quotes this PPP analysis cited by the Santorum campaign:
ICYMI - SANTORUM MUCH STRONGER HEAD TO HEAD WITH ROMNEY THAN GINGRICH IS
"Trouble ahead for Romney?"The Lonely Conservative on Santorum:
What might be most interesting in both states is what happens in a head to head between Romney and either Gingrich or Santorum:
-In Missouri Santorum leads Romney 50-37 and in Ohio Santorum leads 45-38.
-In Missouri Gingrich leads Romney 43-42 and in Ohio Gingrich leads 42-39.
Two takeaways from those numbers: if this ever came down to Romney, Paul, and just one out of Gingrich and Santorum, Romney would be in a lot of trouble. And he'd be in more trouble if the single conservative alternative ended up being Santorum.
Santorum is a stronger long term threat to Romney than Gingrich because he has less baggage and is simply much better liked.
Santorum is easily the most popular of the Republican candidates in both Missouri (+42 favorability at 63/21, compared to +20 forGingrich and +10 for Romney) and Ohio (+35 at 59/24 compared to +10 for both Gingrich and Romney). It's just proving hard for Santorum to get much traction while Gingrich is still in the race.
Why not? Santorum doesn’t have Romneycare in his past, and he doesn’t seem to have any personality disorders.He doesn't play dirty, either. So you won't feel like you have to take a shower after you vote for him.

If you like Santorum now would be a great time to send him some money.

I so wish Santorum could win but he just doesn't have enough money, or support. If the Catholics who elected Obama voted for Santorum then he might have a chance. What a mess.

ReplyDeleteG-d willing. But as the previous comment noted, he just doesn't have the financial backing to be competitive.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should all be sending him money.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing required is to disabuse ourselves of the notion that it can't be done.
ReplyDeleteSecond thing is to get on the support express, one way or another, as your/our circumstances may permit.
But absolutely do not give up without a fight.
Maybe this group give the Santorum train a push. Even if each of us just kicks in a little, it will help.
ReplyDeleteAny amount will help, I'm sure. Our family will be making a donation soon. Go here: https://www.ricksantorum.com/
ReplyDeleteI agree. I wish that Newt would drop out and let the showdown be between Santorum and Romney. Santorum is the most pure conservative in the race.
ReplyDeleteI donated today! Thanks for the link
ReplyDeleteMy family and I won't be donating to his campaign (we don't support any non-Christian based political system), but we will continue tithing 10% every Sunday. Hopefully Mr. Santorum will put this country back on track and replace the constitution with something a little more "holy."
