Rick Santorum says the GOP primary is only at "halftime," but a three-state sweep in Tuesday's primary placed the first half firmly in Mitt Romney's palm. Romney took Wisconson, Maryland, and Washington D.C. this week, giving him a total of 655 delegates to Santorum's 278. Someone will need to secure 1,144 to win the nomination, and there are 1,166 remaining. The Washington Post calls it "the end of the end."
Like Newt Gingrich before him, Rick Santorum remains optimistic despite the odds, and says he will soldier on. Romney continues to focus on Obama instead of his primary opponents. According to The Daily Caller, "Voters leaving Republican polling places in Maryland and Wisconsin showed an electorate more concerned with a candidate’s ability to ability to defeat Obama than with the strength of his conservatism, his moral character or his stand on the issues." Do you think Romney's recent wins mark the end for Santorum?

+9Santorum has and had no chance to start with he simply don't fit the presidential profile as Sarah Palin didn't he is there to excite the obtuse and the religiously racists just like David Duke did in the past I believe Mittens will take a fire-breath Hillery like woman or maybe Neut but not Ricki the American Taliban unless he wants to loose ALL of the moderate women...
When the CIA estimates less than 50 to 100 alquaeda fighters currently exist in Afghanistan, if the US were to have fielded the same troop to enemy ratio in WW2, there would have been 3.5 billion troops in the field.
That's kind of embarrassing ¿ no?
Then two, the war silently morphed from alquaeda to the Taliban, and no one noticed that the USA was a nation founded on the principles of religious freedom. Not only did the Taliban have nothing to do with 911, they had offered to turn over any individuals where evidence was presented to a ...

Then two, the war silently morphed from alquaeda to the Taliban, and no one noticed that the USA was a nation founded on the principles of religious freedom. Not only did the Taliban have nothing to do with 911, they had offered to turn over any individuals where evidence was presented to a third nation, of involvement in 911. That evidence was never presented, Bush started bombing and invaded the country without ever presenting evidence to the Taliban or any other entity. So the US military is now engaged in a fight with a religious sect, without ever proving the Taliban had anything to do with 911.
So how does a nation founded on the principles of religious freedom engage in a 10 war of attrition with a religious sect in Afghanistan, and have any measure of integrity with it's founding principles?
Santorum rails on freedom & individualism.

“One of the criticisms I make is to what I refer to as more of a Libertarianish right.
They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues.
That is not how traditional conservatives view the world. There is no such society that I’m aware of, where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.”
Hear Rick's own words from the video in the above link. This idiotic comment alone should get Santorum bounced. Rick is diametrically opposed to Ron Paul's freedom & liberty message.
Ricky!! You gotta LOT of splainin to do!
This lady takes Rick to the bone.

There are lots of reasons Rick should leave. Even more for why he shoulda stayed home in the 1st place!

The only 'playa' not on THAT team is Ron Paul. 0, Mitt, Rick & Newt, they are on the BGP team. That's why Mitt was chosen. I think the BGP handlers had a hunch that they'd need Mitt for this election. He was the RNC branch of the BGP 'anointed one' from the start. I caught that at the very 1st debate.
0 has been given a lot more favorable press than he comes close to deserving. He is in deeper with We The People than fringe media lets on. Plus it's lookin more & more like 0 is going to have to prove he is a natural born citizen to even gain ballot access in some 4-6 states. The only way to get their man 0 back in the WH is vote machine pr-programming. BUT! Many are on to that play now. That's why they have Mitt in the wings.
You'll have to do your own research on black box vote fraud. Fringe media will hardly touch that issue. Look on the web @ at NewsWithViews.com. NWV has a site search box at the bottom of their long homepage.
Rick & Newt are there to take delegates from Paul. When they drop out I bet a dollar to a doughnut that they give theirs to Mitt. Like McCain was insurance to get 0 in last time, Mitt is insurance for the BGP establi...

Like McCain was insurance to get 0 in last time, Mitt is insurance for the BGP establishment to make sure that the DC gravy train keeps on oozing out the $$ to their cronies.
Then there is the Collapse The [US] System agenda they want to push even further forward.
Looks like Newt is pretty much toast. He'll probably be gone before Ricky baby.
God save the USA!

All 3, & Newt, are big time liars & deceivers. Ron Paul is the only honest guy running. He is the only true fiscal conservative. Ron comes with an added bonus. He is also a staunch Constitutionalist.
God help us!
SamFox
Ron Paul's "agenda" involves things like individual freedom, the Constitution, and sound economic policies. It's been very firm for at least 40 years. Despite this sort of slander.
Paul's supporters aren't stupid. We *know* that nominating Romney guarantees a continuation of Obama's basic policies. Those policies weren't any better when a one RINO (GWB) was in office implementing them. They won't improve if you somehow manage to swap out one figurehead for another.
Washington was right. Political parties have turned elections into puppet theater. I'm sick of this travesty.
Romney's *every* bit as bad as Obama.
Romney's latest bit of waffling over student loans brought him totally inline with Obama on that issue.
They disagree over trivial matters just to hide the fact that they agree on every single issue that's actually important. It's been the same game for as long as I can remember.
Romney isn't it.
Then I had one too many Republican insist that I have some sort of sacred duty to vote for whatever noxious slime-ball they nominated, no matter what. Since, by definition, an (R) next to his name on the ballot makes him better than the guy with a (D). And maybe, in 8 years, they'll nominate someone who actually will be a real improvement.
Since I can't tell any meaningful difference between Obama's and Romney's policies about anything I consider important, I promised that Nimrod early in the primary season that I'll be voting for Obama if they're idiotic enough to nominate Romney.
As someone else pointed out, that'll save moving expenses and give us one less ex-President we have to support for the rest of his life.
You're right, though. It *is* a wasted vote, and mostly just symbolic. I don't live in a swing state.
That means the USA is going down.
I still have faith, it's dark before dawn...
SamFox
Things are looking awfully dark just now.
No real supporter of Dr. Paul would think of voting 0. Might as well vote for Mitt, Rick or Newt. Which few if any of us will do.
I won't vote for the establishment no matter what letter is after his name. 0, Mitt, Rick & Newt are establishment to the marrow of their bones.
Ron Paul does want to help the GOP.
He wants to help them get back to where they once belonged. Get back! Get back! Get back to where ya once belonged! Get back GOP!
There is no way Constitutionalist fiscal conservative US Statesman patriot Ron Paul would try to help 0. That's a flat out lie.
SamFox
After all this time people still don't see what's going on. "R vrs D" "My party is better than your party!" "Didja hear what he/she said at the debates? Wow! No further research needed to vet this one!" Seems like some one sent a strong delusion over most of the voters...
Nothing will change till WE change from R & D big govt 'progressive' Prez's & candidates to one who would really & truly follow the Constitution. At this time that would be some one like Ron Paul. Or Gary Johnson.
But oh no!! Fringe media says Ron's isolationist, racist... what have ya. And many swallow the bilge water with out doing the research...like Cass Sunstein said, loota peeps are easy to manipulate Homer Simpsons...sad day for the USA.
