Santorum is anything BUT moderate and would turn this nation into a Theocracy if he could, The Dems would Love nothing more that the GOP trotting him out as their guy in the big race, Obama would roll over him without even slowing down onto another four years in the Whitehouse.

Go for it, let's see man-on-dog Rick go up against Obama. You appear to have no clue of Rick Santorum's history.

I really disagree with this one. Mitt is definitely a puppet who will say and do anything to get elected. The man doesn't even know where he stands on the issues. I will say Santorum is firm in his convictions and what you see, is what you get which I think is the perfect choice for the Right, HOWEVER, the Independents will never in a million years vote for Santorum no matter how mild mannered he appears. He might be mild mannered, HOWEVER, he is too far Right just like all the other candidates the Republicans have put forth. Can't win the middle when you are a radical Right.

Bob Casey? He's quite popular in Pennsylvania. Yeah, he has a monotone voice and doesn't give great MSNBC/CNN/FOX News interviews...but if you've ever met him in person, he's actually quite the nice guy and very talkative. I went to high school with some of his nieces and nephews.
