    At this point, any vote not for Romney is an anti-Romney vote, it's
    romney or brokered convention..no other candidate can win...

    I don't see a Santorum economic plan either, certainly no viable deficit reduction plan....
    16% of delegates committed to any of the candidates.

    As for his economic plan, here's a few tidbits...

    Santorum's claim during the Arizona debate was that out of wedlock child births and single parent homes were the root of all American problems.

    His plan for reducing single parent homes and reducing out of wedlock child births.....outlawing abortion

    My point is that Santorum cannot win 1144 of the 2,286 needed for the nomination as long as Romney is still in the running..

    He doesn't have credibility as a fiscal conservative, just check his voting record. And the media absolutely would pigeon-hole him as a radical christian social conservative as well as a warmonger because that's what he is. I've heard him for years on various opinion shows and there's no shortage of material to use against him. You can bet Obama gets a hard on at the thought of Santorum being the nominee.
    You're referring to what exactly...earmarks?

    As for the media and Obama machine portrayal, any candidate will be portrayed negatively...Santorum th social nut, Romney the flip-flopper, etc.

    FYI, saw a CNN exit poll that Santorum won independents and young voters in Ohio. Just more ammo against those who believe he doesn't appeal to anyone outside of tea-party republicans.

    There were also reports that Democrats in Ohio and Michigan organized in a unified effort to vote for Santorum (Democrats can vote in the Republican primary in both states) hoping that he gets to nomination because Obama would destroy him.

    My guess is some of those Democrats were "young voters"

    Carrying democrats in Ohio. And I didn't see the anti-Romney vote in the exit polling...curious to get your source.
    You don't honestly believe that the democrates that voted for Santorum in Ohio and Michigan would vote for him in the general? That vote is to keep Romney from wrapping up the nomination.

    This is exactly whats going on. Republicans did this in the last election once McCain had it wrapped up. They voted for Hill-Dawg to try to beat Obama.

    It's funny that Santorum's supporters claim that he's more than just a social issues guy when they are his supporters because of social issues

    He appealed to blue-collar voters in both Ohio and Michigan with a pro-manufacturing economic proposal to bring jobs back to the rust belt. I think it's entirely possible that Santorum could get independents (which he took in Ohio) and even some democrats in the general election with that appeal. And BTW, I'm not denying there was an effort by democrats to prolong the process by voting for the Romney contender. Both can and probably did coexist.

    I usually ignore your ignorant (and racist) drivel, but I thought I'd object to this comment specifically because it's wrong. I support Santorum and am a social moderate when it comes to public policy.

    Democrats showed up in droves to vote for him in both states. You're even more re ed than I thought if you think that's any indication whatsoever he has support from Democrats. They voted for him because he's a nut who plays with dead fetuses who'd be an easy target for Obama.

    fantasy

    Willard Gecko has the delegates wrapped up. there won't be any "general election" for InSaneTorum and the other freaks.

    GAMEOVER

    The other candidates are now obviously pimping their celebrity and cred with their tiny weirdo, ignorant bases, looking towards speaking fees.

    Pro-choice, though I'm against federal funding for abortions. And yes, pro-gay marriage.

    Look guys, it's not that hard to figure out why Santorum is performing so well in the primaries: The fact is, he's a firm believer in me and I'm absolutely crucial in order to further the interests of big oil and the military industrial complex. Yeah you could vote for guys like Ron Paul who run based on the principles of freedom and liberty, but then who would save you whenever I'm under your bed at night while you sleep? Who would save all the unborn children while they are inside the womb?

    Guys, make the right choice. Vote Santorum/Boogeyman 2012.

    People tend to tie Santorum's electability to his stance on social issues, but I think IB is his top negative. This country's appe e for another conflict is non-existent, no matter how serious the threat. And Santorum has issued the toughest rhetoric of any of the candidates.

    I think the Iran propaganda is slowly getting more Americans to buy in. Yesterday I had a huge argument with two friends just as atheist and liberal as I am who were crying about Iran being a threat we need to deal with.

    Well the international community showing concern with Iran's lack of transparency lends credence to the argument that they're a threat. I just think Santorum is so much further along on the use of military force than are the international community and frankly most Americans.

    I could be wrong though.
