So... is Santorum next in line for 2016?

Eh, I hope Santorum's not the next in line. Could you imagine the embarrassment of a Clinton-Santorum match-up?

I know the focus was always "Mitt has a problem with the very conservative," but the opposite could be said of Santorum, and I think it's much more damaging: Santorum has a problem with moderates, Democrats, and liberals.

Personally, I would throw my full support behind Hillary if Santorum was the nominee. And I bet a lot of moderate Republicans would too. Hillary is a strong leader, and half the problem people have with Obama is that he's not. She'd be a force against meek little Santorum.

Yeah, Santorum being the nominee would cause me to vote Democrat. He's just far too socially conservative for my tastes. And I think for most conservative Republicans he will look less attractive when he's not next to Mitt Romney.

Just thinking about a Santorum administration... Hey, HagridOfTheDeep, any room in Canada?

Haha, you bet there is. But I can't see a libertarian lasting too long in Canada.

Or the veep candidate will be the fake heir-apparent, ala Sarah Palin.

I guess that would rely on Romney making a controversial pick, which is sort of unlikely. Even Gov. Martinez or Sen. Rubio wouldn't be as controversial as Palin.
