Santorum

No he will not. He ruined his chances by insisting on discussing stuff like contraception and Satan. It also didn't help to use the words "blessing" and rape" in the same sentence. Yes, I know what he meant, but that's only because I've spent some time hanging out here in the Catholic ghetto. The POTUS has to able to lead [i]all[/i] Americans, not just Catholics. Santorum killed his own chances here.

Aside from his image issues, he's also looking like he's completely coming undone. Cussing out a New York Times reporter while amiable in conservative circles was not necessary for him to secure the nomination. If he had a John McCain or Jon Huntsman type of image, maybe it could give him a boost with conservatives, but Santorum was already seen as the conservative candidate. He came off as appearing exhausted at best, if not rash and hotheaded.

On a side note, there's also some dispute if he can even win the primary in his home state of PA. He probably will win it in my view, but if he doesn't he's out. Santorum has said as much himself.

I think that according to his latest speech, [url="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57411949-503544/rick-santorum-ending-bid-for-gop-nomination/"]he's out of the race.[/url]

Well, he is out of the race. I find it impossible to be excited about Romney. Without a strong republican candidate I feel like Obama is all but going to have to promise to nuke the US to lose the election and another democratic candidate would have a better chance beating him than a republican.

Thank you. Now hail and give praise to your new King and Ruler Obama Romney or Romney Obama. Which ever it makes no difference.

The satan stuff was what a year or two before the election. It was dug up by Romney's character assassins. There's a lot of other bullflop in your post but whatever who cares.

No. But Newt staying and taking away just enough votes to give Romney wins he shouldn't have other wise had no doubt helped this day to come about.
