Didn't Santorum say love is only between a man and a woman? Santorum in a three way? Doesn't Alabama have plenty of hate laws to make such things illegal?

I'll reserve judgement for at least another month.
Polls at this point are pretty meaningless.
Lets just wait and see.

It weirds me out that he could even be considered as a VP.
This man's political views are faith-based. Just, wow.

Even in that role I think he will be a hindrance more so than a help.
The radical right will fall in line with whomever the R choice is.
The moderates and the Independents will not.
They will not vote for his level of extremism.
He has said far too much already and IMO has voided himself from any shot.

Poll: Given Choice Between Romney and Santorum, Most Voters Choose Suicide
Quote:
DETROIT – With just one day until the key Republican contests in Michigan and Arizona,
a new survey of likely voters indicates that in a match-up between former Massachusetts Governor
Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, a majority would choose suicide
over either candidate.

The poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, shows
Mr. Romney drawing 21%, Mr. Santorum 18%, and various forms of suicide 61%.

“Throwing yourself in front of a speeding city bus” was the most popular means of suicide at 22%,
with “jumping off the roof of a really tall building or bridge” coming in second at 17%.

According to pollster Davis Logsdon, the surging popularity of suicide bodes ill for both Gov. Romney
and Sen. Santorum as presidential candidates in 2012.

“It’s still early, but even at this stage of the game the prospect of one of those two being nominated
shouldn’t be making voters want to kill themselves in these numbers,” Mr. Logsdon said.

Reached on the campaign trail in Lansing, Mr. Romney pointed out that while he did not do as well as suicide,
he still polled higher than Sen. Santorum, adding, “That’s better than a sharp stick in the eye.”

But Mr. Logsdon was quick to throw cold water on Mr. Romney’s upbeat assessment:
“In a head-to-head match-up, a sharp stick in the eye beats Romney by a two-to-one margin.”

Elsewhere, Academy Award voters hailed “The Artist” as the ultimate fantasy film, since it depicts
a world in which the French are silent.

This might belong in the politics as psychology thread. Follow his wife's development... if you dare. The Opus Dei involvement is very troubling, unless you're into 30's Spain.
