The words of Rick Santorum
Presidential Candidate Rick Sanotrum with his wife Karen Santorum.
I was recently reading Rick Santorum’s page on Wikipedia. After reading it, it’s hard to believe he would have a chance in the general election. Here are some quotes I found in his Wikipedia entry:
“All of us have heard people say, ‘I privately am against abortion, homosexual marriage, stem cell research, cloning. But who am I to decide that it’s not right for somebody else?’ It sounds good, but it is the corruption of freedom of conscience.”
In reference to contraception: “a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.”

A brokered GOP convention is a real possibility
Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Ron Paul at a Republican debate.
The GOP nomination is still very much up for grabs, and its fluidity seems to change the frontrunners on a monthly basis. While Mitt Romney is usually considered the favorite, it appears that a sizable majority of Republicans are looking for anyone but Romney. The pattern is to elevate a monthly favorite, then watch them collapse once the media picks them apart. To date, this has been the pattern for Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum.
With more than half the original field gone, and several primaries behind us, it looks like Romney is in real trouble. As other candidates have dropped out, there are fewer choices for their supporters, increasing each piece of the electoral pie for the remaining candidates.
