Rick Santorum
 

Latest polls showing he's now got a huge lead in nationwide polls. Your thoughts on this candidate please. :munchin

What are your thoughts, counselor? :confused:

Richard :munchin

He seems to be the Knot Candidate.

Not Romney, not Gringrich, and NOT Obama.

He has Character

The Knots........
 

The Knots are AGAIN splitting the conservative vote.

Ron Paul is the anchor dragging along holding things back. The other two vary back and forth. They keep splitting 60% of the vote and Mittens wins with 40%.

I will vote for one of the three, whoever is still running against Mittens in the NC primary - and then I will vote for the Republican candidate in the general election.

But MR sure is not doing anything to fire up the base.

Sir,

I agree 100%, but I think the question is can the other candidates beat Obama? If the answer is no, then can Mitt beat Obama? Unfortunately we are in that position, where it's not just "who's the overall best candidate" , but it's "who can win the election" . It's another one for the KNOTS.

Just my $.02.

Another candidate who is unable to fire up his "base" without mixing politics and religiion:mad::mad:

Here is my own way of judging the present GOP candidates:

1. If either Ron Paul or Newt Gingrich showed up to date my teenage daughter, I would kick either gentleman's ass and ground her for a year for being stupid.

2. If Mitt Romney showed up to date my teenage daughter, I would think something was going on, but wouldn't be too sure what.

3. If Rick Santorum showed up to date my teenage daughter, I'm pretty sure she would be home on time and wouldn't turn up pregnant.

Santorum is the only one I would feel really inclined to vote for because it's him. Not just like I was voting for somebody "against" somebody..er..make sense.

I would vote for Santorum to Vote for Santorum...yeah, there, that's better...

I think he needs to step up a bit, be a bit more assertive, and come out of the background. Develop a "leader type" attitude..

I don't necessarily agree with everything Santorum believes in, but he comes the closest to believing the things I believe in. With the economy on the upswing "supposedly" he really needs to roll out his plan for what he would do as POTUS, as well as start talking about foreign policy. I personally am hoping for a Santorum/Rubio ticket. Mittens might make a good Commerce or Treasury Secretary.

Gingrich needs to get out before we are all subjected to Mittens as the nominee. He is only staying in it now for pride, not because he thinks he can actually win. If he cares ANYTHING about this nation, and not just himself, he will leave before the next set of Primaries on 28 Feb and stop splitting the conservative vote.

I think it would be enjoyable to see a debate between Gingrich and the Chosen One, because he would mop up the stage with Obama, but he has no chance in hell of winning a general election with his baggage.

I asked first!

LOL, so would you want any of these guys to be the President?

I am a GDI, but have always voted conservative. I will vote for whomever the Republicans put on the ballot. If nothing is at stake and I don't like any of the candidates, I write in Thomas Sowell. But this year, everything is at stake. . Obama is spending this country into a Greek cesspool. Vote him out.

Out of all the above mentioned candidates I think this guy has the best chance to beat the "O"...............;) :D

Big Teddy :munchin

Well said. I would also be pleased with a Santorum/West ticket as well.
