I honestly hope he wins the primary though. If we're being honest, he represents Republican ideology the best of the 4 left.

The Republican "base" is such a schizophrenic collection that it's hard to say.

One and two do not have a coherent ideology.  Four is a libertarian.  That leaves us with Santorum.

Newt Gingrich reflects the ideology of the base better than any of the others but he will not get the nomination for obvious reasons.

Newt Gingrich. While Santorum is closer on the social issues, Gingrich has the right presentation of ideas.

Well it is clearly Santorum, and if that is all it is about for you, he is the guy you should be supporting. Of course there is more to it then that and for those who know what all it is truly about and what that it is, they know why we need to do something else.
