What's wrong with Rick? He doesn't like Muslims?

He's a pure social conservative. His schtick is stuck in the 90s...his message wouldn't get far in today's climate.

If you can't win a Sentorial election, how can you be expected to win a Presidential election against a billion-dollar warchest?

He's going to have 2 or 3 more wins than Ron Paul by the time it hits Ohio. Someone must like him

He's a big spender who voted for bailing out the airlines and No Child Left Behind and Medicare Part D. He wants a new war on every inch of this earth. He wants the government involved in every decision we make in our lives. People just don't know this about him because he hasn't been vetted by the media or the other candidates.

He was spot on with the civil war in Syria. Let them duke it out. The world was content to let us duke it out during our civil war and the cost in human lives was far greater.

Yeah, better. I'm not sure if it's doable( staying out of these kinds of things.) I liked less his "Egypt" response...which seemed like a "blame Bush" or blame our predecessor type response. Give him a little bit of a drawl and it could have passed for Jimmy Carter.

Bush? He said we propped up Mubarak for 40 years. And he was right. Why do you think the Egyptians hate us? Because we're rich and free?

That's what I'm saying ...let's blame the last 60 years of foreign policy. It's so simple. We are guilty, we are guilty we are so guilty.

Actually yes. But that would be anecdotal. Obviously there is a lot of supporters for Santorum out there tonight.

There are no Santorum supporters. There are, however, a lot of people that will vote for the person their TV tells them is "surging in the polls".

Don't be fooled. Sure there are some that may move their vote based on polls. He has support. I listen to WHLO most days. Quinn & Rose and Levin have been carrying his water long before any surge in the polls.

Well sure the warmongers on talk radio love him, but he comes in 3rd or 4th every state until the TV media starts pumping him up again.

Polls do not even get close to accurate until just before the votes are cast. More of the fickle have made their choice at that point.

Have you seen how red some states are? The republicans could nominate a retarded monkey and slap an R buy its name and it be good for a few states.

Santorum would win the states like Georgia and Mississippi, but there isn't a state north of the Mason-Dixon or west of Texas that he could win. Obama would take that election as a strong mandate of his disastrous regime.
