As an independent voter I'd probably have voted for Romney but no way am I voting for Santorum, I'll vote Obama back in to keep the bible out of the white house. If Santorum is the choice it won't be mine. Just saying.

This.

Santorum is a social conservative, not a Constitutional Conservative. Huge difference. Santorum cannot pull votes away from Obama in the form of disgruntled Democrats. Only Ron Paul can accomplish that. Unfortunatly the GOP seems to be stuck on Neocons and Evangelicals.

Default Santorum's win confirms that Romney stinks

Santorum's sweep means that the GOP's projected nominee, Romney, is weak. Gingrich and Paul are non-factors. The longer they fight, the more they weaken an already pathetic Romney.

Enjoy President Obama's second term.

I'm from Pennsylvania and I want to remind people that he was soundly rejected by 20 point landslide in favor of his opponent the last time he ran in this state. The Philadelphia Inquirer called his defeat a "repudiation" by the voters.

He is dishonest, deceitful, corrupt and a bigot. He built a gorgeous expensive house in Virginia while maintaining a bogus property in Pennsylvania for the purpose of politics and taxes. The guy is so offensively anti-gay that even his conservative cronies often criticize him.

Well, your above statement about Santorum's anti-gay position is a key factor in his surging popularity with GOP consevative Christian voters. I assure you!!!

He scares me.

And what scares me even more is that he is not only one of the last four still standing but that he did as well as he did today. Something is terribly wrong with the GOP voters.

So in other words, he's the Catholic version of Flip-Flop Romney.

When push comes to shove, most people want to hear how we are going to reduce deficits----make some modifications to entitlements without scaring the heck out of people----how are we going to put people back to work----how are going to deal with a crumbling infrastructure.

We have tons of very serious problems to confront over the course of the next several years. Lets hear more specifics on problem solving-----sorry, I dont want to hear more discussion on contraceptives, abortion repeal, and other personal issues. Lets get on with trying to get this country back on its feet and tackling gigantic problems.
These wedge issues are the only ones that the lackluster GOP can resort to now. Definitely a collective bunch of "Boy Who Cried Wolf". Most sane people have had their fill of these jaded tactics...

We need not be concerned. The only way Santorum will be in The White House is if he is invited by the administration or on a tour. Let the radical anti-gay, anti-choice crowd have their moment in the sun.
