Didn't Santorum's GOP colleagues in the Senate openly admit he's a real stupid moron?

Well, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania certainly did.

/18 point loss as an incumbent? Shiat.

Yeah, that was pretty resounding. No wonder his whole family was blubbering over being thrown off of the gravy train.

SurfaceTension: Santorum logic? Isn't that the biggest contradiction in terms since military intelligence?

Nope: Reagan memoirs.

That's some slippery logic there.

What does Skrawberry have to say about this?

So Newt is siphoning votes from Santorum?
Sick

So Santorum sees a large pile of support on his chest just waiting for him to make use of it and it thinking the support is based on surface area as opposed to volume? I mean it may look big, but it's mostly just empty air creating the frothy-like composure.

Well, there are other ways to vote, you know.

* You can punch the hole for Santorum.

* You can fill in the black for Santorum.

* You can even write in Santorum, though that's frowned upon.

The point is, you're not limited to pulling the lever for Santorum. NTTAWWT.

You magnificent bastard ...

Santorum is still running?

Whats sickening is out of the not Ron Paul candidates, Mitt Romney is the least despicable. And he's a complete douche.

Mike Huckabee has to be kicking himself for not running in this one. Weakest group of Republican nominees I've ever seen by far.

And Huckabee would not just be yet another weak candidate in the field?

I'm not saying I'd vote for him, but Huckabee comes across as much less despicable than any of the other candidates that aren't RP

Frothy logic?

One of the many damned strange things about this GOP race is that it occasionally makes me feel sorry for Rick Santorum.

I mean sure, the guy holds absolutely reprehensible views on a wide array of subjects (gays, women, health care, health care for gays and women, etc.), but at least he appears to bloody well OWN those views. He doesn't flip-flop with the frequency of a cesium atom like Romney, or go off some bizarre media-bashing tangent like Gingrich.

On top of that, he seems to be a genuine family man (in a freakily repressed Leave it to Beaver kind of way), and the only GOPer left who's actually willing to say that just MAYBE the out-of-control wealth gap in this country MIGHT be a problem we should look into.

And yet, the evangelicals are flocking to Gingrich and Romney. Why? If you're a pro-life, anti-gay, family values voter, why the heck would you prefer either of those two amoral farknozzles over a guy who seems to be walking the walk?

Feh. Republicans. Go fig.

I wouldn't be surprised one iota to find out that Santorum had been having gay sex on the side and in secret.

I liked that Huntsman fellow. Shame he had to go. But it did seem like he had all of his marbles, so I can see why the GOP didn't want anything to do with him.

I did too. I really thought it was going to be no clear winner at convention time, so after the free-for-all starts, the delegates were going to go into a back room where the real powers of the GOP were going to say, "Huntsman's the only sane one of them, nominate him or DIAF, literally."

Santorum and logic go together like Santorum and water.

Well, he did tie for 2nd place that one time...

I would personally like to see the headline, "Santorum by a landslide."

Wouldn't surprise me either. But until that day, I'm genuinely curious as to why ANYONE in the "Jesus for President"/"The Constitution Is Directly Derived From The King James Bible" camp would prefer a pandering scuzzbucket like Gingrich over Santorum.

I mean, I'D never vote for the guy, but he seems to be a central-casting lock for that demographic...

Actually, Santorum has a good point. If Santorum were to leave the race, half his supporters would go to Romney and the other half would go to Gingrich, net zero impact. If Gingrich were to withdraw, the vast majority of his supporters would go to Santorum. The gap between Santotum and Romney would certainly narrow, but whether it would be narrower than Romney's lead over Gringrich is questionable. It is a thin argument, but a valid one.

Santorum has an arousing speaking style especially for the religious:
